| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jul 26, 2009 Thanks be to Milos at Chancey’s for getting in this wonderful treat! Brought out for a good half hour, this beer poured as if the god’s opened the sky on a rainy day. Deep golden amber accented by a thin head. High expactations usually mean a negative outcome. Quite the opposite. Dried fruit, worn leather, burnt candy. A taste so complex I fear to describe it. Very malty, balanced bitterness, can barely feel the alc. Over all I would appreciate tasting it after a couple years in the cellar. Bless those monks! boamr (136), Pennsylvania, USA

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Jul 23, 2009 330 mL bottle from St. Veronus. (Thank-you, thank-you, thank-you Roland!) The (relatively) mild aroma only hints at what is to come. The flavour and mouthfeel are as close to perfection as I imagine that a beer can be. Full and velvety, awakening tastebuds in parts of my mouth that I didn’t even know evisted. And the complexity of the flavour: dried fruit, fresh dark fruit, chocolate, vanilla, spices . . . . Even the alcohol is utilized effectively. A memorable experience.
