About saturday night: our wedding

After many tries I finally got my hands on this. Pour is a dark murky brown with a large tan head. Aroma is rum with dates and and figs. Some molasses type malt and alcohol are there as well. Flavor is dates,figs and raisins. I also get something like a old musty bookshelf. With almost no alcohol. I can feel a warming in the chest but nothing on the tongue. It's trendy to hate on things most people like but this beer is top 5 that you must try. Very rich dark fruit with a old mustiness to it with pleasant alcohol. It was not cheap to get this but it a must try and it lived up to expectations.

Bottle. Malty aroma, caramel, toffee, belgian yeast, spicy and wooden notes. Malty taste, caramel, ripe fruit, belgian yeast, light spicy and wooden notes, light sweet and bitter. Full body, malty caramel bitter sweet finish with warming alcohol notes. Well ballanced, very good.

33cl bottle with BBD of 04/09/2017 making it a 2014 bottle I believe, so 4 years old. Pours a deep brown/amber colour, hazy, lively tan head settling quite quickly to a thin ring around the glass. Aroma is rich, malty, dried fruits, caramel, toffee, brown sugar, molasses. Taste is similar, it's rich and complex, sweet and malty, toffee, dried fruits, caramel, spicy yeast, brown sugar, molasses, there's more going on that I feel I can't even describe. Full bodied, soft-moderate carbonation. A wonderful beer. I was worried this wouldn't live up to the hype of being "the best beer in the world" - subjective and debatable of course, but at least in terms of the style and Belgian beers in general, this is by far and away the best I've had so far, it's getting a perfect score from me. Such an enjoyable beer to drink.
Slightly behind on RB milestones but had this as my 2500th on that other beer website.

Head to head 2018 (courtesy of kajser) and 2015 (courtesy of Josip) bottles. Shared with JFK10000 and Max. 2018 bottle - brown with medium beige head. Malty, caramel, some dried fruits, nutty, warming. Medium+ carbonation. Medium sweetness. Smooth, nice complex. Dry. Medium to heavy body. 2015 bottle BB 04/17 - brown, medium beige head. Lots of nuts in aroma, some chocolate, caramel, sweet, more nuts, dark fruit, plums, dried fruit. 2015 is a clear winner, apparently needs some time to mellow carbonation, and develop beautiful nutty and fruity aromas.
