Bottled. Very dark brown. Subtle berry aroma. Dryish and lightly yeasty, otherwise surprisingly clean. Notes of sugar and perhaps chocolate. Complex, but very, very subtle for a beer of this magnitude.

Bottled. Orange colour with lively quickly vanishing head. Rich aroma of fruit, peach in perticular. Sweet and malty, velvetty soft. Balanced and dangerously drinkable with a smooth finish full of burnt sugar.

Blond-golden color. Fresh aroma, some sourness (vinegar), spices. In the flavor, some citrus fruits, some sourness. Refreshing, not impressive.

Blond color, giant head, fine perlage. Deep fruity aroma, of green apple, cider, wood, sugar, violet, delicate strawberry and ananas. Pretty dry, with some malt and green apple. Difficult to conceive a valid palate for such beer. Original, not terrific but well brewed; couldn't drink too much.

Thanks to NDmullet for this one, although it took me so long to get around to drinking it that it became available in Ohio in the meantime. D'oh! Anyway, this beer pours a deep ruby color with a medium beige head. Aroma of cherry, vanilla, figs, and raisin. Fruity flavor of plum and raspberry, with a lightly chocolate malt finish. Very easy on the tongue, unlike a lot of Belgian Ales. Absolutely smooth and easy to drink. Very good.

Aged 5 years. Hazy amber with a hint of calvados. Lean, but with a hoppy/perfumey/yeasty character. Well-rounded. This has held up very well, even gained a bit in terms of balance. Ar 8 Ap 3 F 8 P 5 O 17 = 4.1
Original rating (Jan 24, 2003): Cloudy yellow. Creamy, peachy, peppery. Strong alcohol and yeast presence. Dry herbal hops. Very complex - my vocabulary fails me but I’m not worried - I will be re-sampling this one! Ar 7 Ap 4 F 9 P 4 O 17 = 4.1
