Bottle that came with a song and a candle. Darkest brown, slightly cappucino head. Almonds, nuts, peanuts. Taste is lovely sparkly, umami soy, sweet but not sticky, salty. Nice.

Bottled 2000, drunk 2004. Dark, clear, reddish tints. Small, creamy, buttered beige head, moderate retention. Low phenol, moderate ester. Raisin, plum, plastery yeast. Hint of caramel-tinged honey like base malt with very delicate, chocolate-like notes lingering alongside lightly spicy phenol (pepper) and dark fruit. Not boozey, clean. Soft, malty, great texture with a contemporary imperial stout-like viscosity. Big esters, dark fruits and sweet caramel-raisin-vanilla. Lovely stuff, with nothing crude not too much sweetness/alcohol. Highly lauded for a reason.

I finally had the pleasure to enjoy this incredible beer - and it was everything I was told it would be. Perfect Quad. Shared with closest family/friends - raisins/plum fruit - hangs on for a long time. Amazing.

Bottle found at small beer outlet in Denmark, stored in cellar for a couple of years. Mahogany colour with full head initially. Aroma of hazelnuts an dried fruits, also alcohol. Rich taste of dried plums and nuts, malt sweetness blended with medium bitterness. Alcohol almost hidden. Long aftertaste.
