750ml Bottle. Pours out golden topped with a white head. Aroma was of belg yeast, light fruit notes, spice, and some floral notes. Taste is much as the aroma with the belg yeast leading the way. A nice spice and floral helps round it out.

Bottle at Papsø’s, vintage 2009
The color is very dark brown, almost black, with a small head. Strange aroma, burnt wood, ruhbarb candies, cut branches, phenol... But the flavor is excellent, starting with a full body, then powerful chocolate flavor, and a stingy alcohol presence that actually fits well in the picture; a woody character; strong bitterness, the final also shows some liquorice and more chocolate. Very good.

enjoyed during 2011 RBWG pours brown with a medium tan head. Aroma is sweet toffee and molassis with lots of bourbon notes. Flavor is very sweet, the alcochol is masked well. There is sweet oak, vanilla and bourbon notes mixed in with bread and caramel malts. Nice beer.

bouteille ’09 couleur acajou, qcq bulles dorées, Arôme est énorme sur le chocolat, malt ainsi que le bourbon allant vers un nez ayant pas mal de notes de butterscotch. En bouche, le tout est la même expérience et je trouve là finalement un barley wine qui me laisse sans voix. Le tout est une expérience qui marrie superbement le tonneau ainsi que le bourbon donnant à la fois des notes de vanille, de chocolat qui est épais en bouche ainsi que de fines traces de noisettes. Le bourbon est réchauffant au palais tout en conservant une fine couche de chêne, de vanille.

Bottle via Shane, thanks! Poured a clear cherry mahogany/garnet with a foamy eggshell head that dissipated to the edges. Aroma had notes of sweet caramel and sweet chocolate with a surprising peat backing. There was also a bourbon burn. Flavor was full of caramel, rich sweet chocolate and had a nice bourbon finish.
