Bouteille. Nez de levures fruitées (prunes, dates, léger d’agrumes, notes de pommes et de raisins), d’alcool vineux et liquoreux, de malt foncé du genre caramel toffee et de sucre brun puis assez épicé (clou de girofle, coriandre, notes de poivre). Ronde-moyenne en bouche avec un pétillement plutôt élevé et une texture mi-liquoreuse et mi-vineuse. Goût de levures fruitées très légèrement acides (prunes, raisins vineux, léger d’agrumes et de pommes) et aux notes boisées et assez épicé (clou de girofle, coriandre et poivre) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût de malt rappelant le caramel toffee moyennement rôti et des notes de mélasse et de sucre brun puis finalement un goût d’alcool moyen et assez vineux vient se joindre au tout pour procurer une moyenne amertume avec les levures (notes de houblon floral et d’anis). Arrière-goût assez long et un peu sec, légèrement amer d’alcool vineux et de levures (notes de rôti) avec un goût fruité (moût de raisins vineux et de prunes avec des pelures de pommes). [notes 2006]

750 ml bottle into signature tulip glass, bottled on 12/12/2011. Pours very hazy dark reddish brown color with a nice 2 finger dense and fluffy light khaki head with fantastic retention, that reduces to a nice cap that lasts. Nice thick soapy lacing clings on the glass, with plenty of carbonation streaming up retaining the head. Aromas of big raisin, prune, fig, apple, pear, molasses, brown sugar, toast, toffee, caramel, herbal, banana, pepper, clove, cinnamon, and yeast earthiness. Fantastic aromas with big complexity and great balance of malt and fruity esters. Taste of big raisin, prune, fig, molasses, brown sugar, toffee, toast, herbal, banana, pepper, clove, cinnamon, light oak, and yeast earthiness. Lingering notes of dark fruits, molasses, brown sugar, caramel, toast, toffee, herbal, banana, pepper, clove, cinnamon, oak, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a while. Fantastic balance and complexity of dark malt, spice, and fruity esters; with zero cloying sweetness present after the finish. Medium-high carbonation and medium-full bodied; with a creamy, slick, earthy, and lightly prickly mouthfeel that is great. Alcohol is extremely well hidden with only a slight warming noticed well after the finish. Overall this is an incredible Belgian strong dark ale! Big complexity and balance of malt and fruity esters; and dangerously smooth to sip on. An absolutely top notch offering all around.

Etwas hefiger, außerdem stechend malziger Antrunk. Im Mittelteil schleicht sich eine Wässrigkeit ein, die kurzzeitig den kompletten Geschmack an sich reißt. Danach säuerlich hefig, etwas trocken herb, unspektakulär. Die Malzigkeit lässt nach, das Bier bleibt minimal sauer und ist ab dem hinteren mittelteil übermäßig mild. Langweilig! 9/9/9/8/8/8

Bottle at Paul’s tasting awhile back. Pours clear brown. Nose and taste of rubbing alcohol, pine nuts and toffee. Rubbing alcohol is especially strong in the nose. Past its prime.

Dark brown color. Aniseed, port, raisins, coriander, dark chocolate subtly wafts from the nose. Dark chocolate, dark fruit, oranges, raisin and chocolate malt smoothly meld together in the mouth. Warming port, brandy, chocolate finish. Decent.

Bottled. Dark amber colour, not much head. Plum, glue and alcohol in nose. Flavour is semiroasted, strongly caramellish and syrupy. Dark fruits and sugar also noteable. Wellbalanced and pleasant to drink.
