Bottle @ gunnfryd. Well stored bottle, 2018 edition opened in 2026. Unclear brown body under a dense tam head. Strong and complex aroma of malt, dry fruit, mild oak, vanilla and smooth alcohol. Taste is basically like expected from aroma with sweet malt, caramel, dry fruit, oak, vanilla, hint of chocolate, balanced bitterness and warming alcohol. A herbal touch as well. Fine body with long lasting, pleasant aftertaste. Solid and nice.

The last of my inventory of Stickee Monkee, put away almost seven years ago and I have seen none at any store since. SM is one of my favorite quadrupels, my hope is the condition of the bottle has not declined. The opening goes well, I hear some carbonation being released and now I pour into a Trappistes Rochefort glass. I view a dark caramel body completed by a small skim of silver-tan, very fine fine bubbles. The nose is good, I get yeast, baked grain, dark fruit and malt. The taste is also still good, I feel fortunate. Dates, raisins, whole grain bread, some oakiness, chocolate, leather and a touch of toffee. This remains a fine drink, the years have diminished it only slightly.
