Dec 31, 2008 Drank @ l’autre oeil. Slightly hazy copper poor with slim frothy head. Aromas of dates, alcohol, creamy caramel, figs... Strong alcohol presence followed closely by a long lasting sweetness. Thick creamy body. Flavors are slightly overpowered by the alcohol but still present.

Dec 30, 2008 Updated: Jun 2, 2009Beautiful pour into a Chimay glass, soft amber, with a parade of carbonation up to a tight firm white head. Wet juicy cherry aroma, dense jammy raisin too. Forward with dry wood and rough alcohol. Digging past that I get plum and amber honey but the alcohol continues to fiercely coat all sides of the mouth and ruins the experience. My second attempt at the beer and this was no better. Drainpour.

Dec 29, 2008 Bottle. Muddy dark brown beer with a strong head. The aroma is malty and strongly roasted, and the flavour is very rich, spiced, malty and roasted. Overall a pretty good strong beer.

Dec 27, 2008 Bottle. Beautiful amber colour. Sweet aroma. Lots of butter. Alcohol. Tastes like a barley wine, also fruity (apple, banana). Its too sweet for me.

Dec 24, 2008 This one is amber colored with a small but fluffy white head. Some plums and caramel in the aroma. Some plums, rock candy, a touch of butterscotch, cherry, and a good amount of caramel. Very sweet and slightly boozy. I can dig it.

Dec 19, 2008 11.2 oz bottle poured into my Westvleteren goblet. Pours a sort of ashen goldenrod color, sort of sickly to be honest. Certainly far lighter than any standard quadrupel. Creamy tan head displays great retention and leaves films of sticky lacing. Aroma is diacetyl and caramel. And that‘s it. Flavor is very similar. Old butterscotch and caramel make this a very sweet beer. There is also a whisper of dark fruitiness and alcohol. Mouthfeel is full-bodied and sticky from the sweetness. Pretty one-dimensional, and possibly suffering from a brewing flaw with all that diacetyl. Not really mindful of the style either.
