Bottle, 10% at KØ10. Mild fruity aroma. Quite oxidised, but good. Cloudy dark brown colour. Very small tan head. The flavour is sweet, oxidised. Dried fruits.

Apple nose, with traces of vanilla that approach that of plastic. Hazy brown, thin tan head, good lacing. Brown sugar and candy flavor, full bodied roasted malt base, alcohol very evident. Some raisin notes present. I find few faults in this beer, but nothing excites me about it either. Not even close to being my favorite from de Proef. Boring.

750 ml bottle purchased in July 2008, stored in my beer cellar until December 2009. Very dark ruby red with a large light beige head that settles over 5 minutes to a surface layer of fine bubbles, with good lacing. Aroma has notes of vanilla, chocolate and dates Begins with dark cocoa and progresses through raisins to scotch, with a bitter cocoa finish. Alcohol shows through. Nice body, better than most abts. D: I expected more of a mellow flavor after 15 months of storage, this one still had quite a punch. Reasonably good complexity, not outstanding, but definitely in the upper half of Belgian abts.

Bottle. Pours with a largish, tan head over a hazy hazelnut hued body. A few alcohol legs, but light lacing. Aroma is raisin, toffee, chocolate, and alcohol. Taste is toffee, alcohol, fig and brandy. Very hot, with a lot of fusel, creamy bubbles.

750ml corked bottle, probably closet aged for the better part of a year. Deep opaque cherry-brown, with a patchy head. Rugged cognac aroma makes me wonder if aging wasn’t the way to go. Surprisingly mellow, malty and smooth with a rich underbelly of pungent dark fruit. Id really guess some oxidation is at work, causing off aromas..this is probably superb fresh. Inescapably boozy, with a sweet sugary alcohol-rich finish. As previously stated, probably hasn’t improved with age. Still always interesting to have a 10% beer that is considered on the mellow side of the style.

Bottle at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Thanks to Phil l Aged aroma. Yes, it’s an ok strong Belgian ale but it does have a fair amount of age to it, which is quite dominant.

Pours cloudy caramel color with off white head. Aromas of dark fruits with a touch of alcohol. Flavors of raisins, figs, some alcohol and a slight medicinal taste in the finish. Medium body with lively carbonation. Just OK.
