33 cl, bottle.
Might've been already expired since 5-6 months, so not a good experience :(

330ml Bottle - Deep amber in colour. Dried fruit and some boozy notes in the aroma. Malty taste with dried fruit and caramel. Moderately rich.

2006 bottle, poured in a Duvel glass. Hope that's all right. Dark, solid brown pour, thin layer of foam. Nose has some specialty malt spice, a bit of Chardonnay, perhaps. Very nice after nearly 20 years. Taste is wonderfully surprising. Again, specialty malt with caramel roast, light spice of coriander, maybe a bit of allspice. And there's some nice, basic "beer" taste underlying the whole thing.

Bottle. Pours dark brown with good head. Aroma/taste was a little to lemony/alcoholy for me. I preferred the 10.
Rerate 17 years later - honestly this is an elite dark fruit double

A regular trapping beer, boozy but it is find, malty, notes of plum and apricot, mineral and dry at the palate, regular hop, not so complex comparing with the 10, a beverage to drink quietly. 29.09.2020, drinking it at Epalinges, at night.
gave a cheers!

Bottle. This is an excellent beer. Actually ranks right behind it’s big brother. The sour after taste did cause me to lower my score a bit. Otherwise, great beer.
