| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 15, 2007 2003. This has aged well and there was so much sugar it could probably go a lot longer. Aroma is sweet with malt and fruit, but I can’t distinguish any particular fruit. Very sweet flavor, malt and sugar, sweet citrus but no sourness. Also yeast in the flavor. tennisjoel (951), Shakopee, Minnesota, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Feb 14, 2007 2003 vintage. A orangish pour with thick head. Boy, Victory seems to do a pretty good job with their belgians. I really liked this and V12, golden monkey not quite as much. A beer that held up to it’s aging, nice complex flavors of toffee, cinnamon, peach, and apples. Very good. joebrew (608), Farewell Minny; Hello Puyallup, Washington, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 12, 2007 2003 vintage pours a hazy reddish orange. Kind of has a weird almost vegital/candi sugar nose. The flavor is similiar. I am not sure what the flavor is is like a candi sugar and caramel meets brussell sprouts or something. Interesting to say the least, and I am not sure if I liked it or not. Stine (1380), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 11, 2007 2003 vintage pours to a burnt, thick apricot orange in color. Aroma is an amalgamation of oranges, whiskey, and some weird pot-roastish notes. But that’s no anomaly: heavily marinated meat in the flavor, butter rum and wet wood. If it sounds weird you’ve got the idea. hophead75 (1964), Boonton, New Jersey, USA
