My original rating was for a 2007 vintage, but since I have up to a case of 2012 left, let's write about this. This bottle avoided gushing when I opened, that's a good sign. The small of pekoe tea and Belgian malt drifts up from my pour. Hazy, ruddy body with a thin ring of fizz. Taste has held up great after 13 years. Effervescence is prickly, Belgian light malt and maybe some candi sugar. Just a great example of Goose's originl "Belgian sisters."

Sample at Kurtkeller 009: Matilda-tastic 01 on 03/28/2014. Clear orange-amber pour with a medium white head that recedes steadily to a film. Short strings of lace. Aroma of Belgian yeast, clove and malt. Medium body with flavors of herbal yeast, spices, fruit, malt and earthy hops. The finish is funky yeast with a fruit and malt aftertaste. Solid beer overall.
