2011 bottle I bought at Maxs.  Pours amber, still some clumpy off white head.  Nose has salad dressing, balsamic and cherry, some spice.  Flavor is big salad dressing and spice and balsamic.  Flabby.  Could be worse.  Felt high acid.  6 5.5 5.5 5 5.5

330ml bottle that pours a dark brown colour with ruby highlights, a mocha-coloured head, decent stay and some foamy lacing spots. Chocolate malt aromas with some banana-wheat notes, alcohol and hints of nuttiness, with the Belgian yeast. Cacao-nuttiness continues into the flavours with some grassy-hoppy dryness in the finish. The Belgian yeast and mild bananas lingers on the tongue. The alcohol is milder in the mouth. An interesting Belgian, Imperial Stout with lots of chocolate notes.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours almost black with a faint reddish hue and a medium sized thick creamy beige head. Rich aromas of dark chocolate, dry dark fruits, fruit cake, brown bread and hints of vanilla and liquorice. Taste has lots more dark chocolate, dry dark fruits, fruit cake and brown bread with beautiful notes of plums and lots of cherries also coming through with a touch of brown sugar on the finish. Very light vinous notes also with a subtle acidity also on the finish. Full body, fairly low carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. Very dark fruity lingering aftertaste. The high abv is expertly hidden. This beer is absolutely beautiful! Truly one to sip and savour. No lie this is one of the best beers I’ve ever tried. Fantastic.

Bottle from Drinks Vanuxeem, Ploegsteert, Belgium. Pours a very deep dark mahogany colour with a thinnish creamy beige head. Aromas of chocolate, liquorice, dry dark fruits, fruit cake and hints of cinnamon. Taste is fairly rich with more chocolate and liquorice upfront with some warming alcohol. Dry dark fruits (figs, raisins) lingering on a long fairly dry finish. Sweet but not overly so. Decent balance. Medium to full body, low carbonation and smooth oily mouthfeel. Very nice winter time sipping beer packing lots of flavour!
