Feb 13, 2009 Unfair rating warning..
750ml 2002 vintage, bottled march 2003, opened 2009. What a waste. Cognac aroma devastates. An inkling of what once was. Remains light on the palate, but the tastes have turned quite unpleasantly sour and pungent. Gets better as it airs out and warms, creamier and milder. A great beer fresh, maybe not so great after 6 years.

Jan 29, 2009 amber pour... some head that disappears. fruity spicy smell, but not as strong as i expected (have been battling a cold). taste is the same, but bolder... fruity, spicy, raisin, and caramel, with a warming alcohol finish that lingers on the tongue. another good brew from one of my favorite overall breweries

Jan 28, 2009 Crushed with Jakebra. Lots of sweet, dark fruits in there. Incredibly full-bodied. Creamy. Some hop presence in the finish surprisingly. One excellent beer, but exhausting to drink.

Jan 23, 2009 750 ml. bottle. Bottled on 2/26/08. Pours an initially exuberant ,becoming thinnish, head of poor duration with minimal lacing over a slightly cloudy coppery amber body.....nose is of the usual Belgian suspects, dried fruits such as figs and cherries....tastes of more dried fruit, figs, raisins, cherries, the finish is slightly harsh and a bit overly astringent, this may be the 12% ETOH.....mouthfeel is good, with a lovely texture to it. I need to taste more from this brewery.

Jan 19, 2009 Bottle. Pours a cloudy orange-brown, with a foamy head. Very attractive beer. Aroma of caramel and dark fruits. The flavor is nice, with strong notes of caramel and raisins. Alcohol and brown sugar in the finish. The mouthfeel is very smooth, particularly given the 12% ABV. An excellent brew, very reminiscent of an Abt/Quad, particularly the Rochefort 8.

Jan 13, 2009 Bottle. Pours bright orange amber with an off white head. The aroma is spicy and yeasty with some fruity banana. The flavor has some nice fruity esters, with nutmeg, cardamom, and other spices, and warms as it goes down. Nice. although I expected from the V-12 for this to be along the lines of an Abt/Quad, but it’s not. Still good though.
