Thanks to Joebrew for sharing. I appreciate the quality of this beer but the bourbon is not for me. There is a powerful bourbon aroma that destroys other aromas that might be there if not for the bourbon. Not as much bourbon as Shipwreck or Dragon’s Milk, but a lot of bourbon anyway. A thick, black, and malty beer underneath the alcohol. There is some malt sweetness and a hint of English style port and wine flavors, but in the aroma the bourbon overwhelms all. I would like to taste this same beer with the bourbon removed.

Rating # 850 Bottle from TPaliga; Thanks! Nose is fruity and caramelly with notes of apples, pears, spices, and brown sugar. Rusty red with a small tan head; Medium body with the flavor of caramel and fig newtons, along with a slight amount of alcohol. the finish shows the tiniest bit of hops mixed with some slight alcohol.

An unclear brown beer with a brown head. The aroma is of over ripe fruit and oxydized, as well as with light notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of caramel and over ripe fruits, as well as light spicy notes, especially cloves and coriander. The end is dry.

Samll, almost non existant head of light brown over a solidly dark body. Nutty light malt aroma. Some roasted malts and caramel as well. Light malt sweetness carries into the finish. Somewhat dry, but a bit watery.

Bottle (courtesy of Monger): Poured a deep yellow color ale with a medium foamy pure white head with good retention and lacing. Aroma of sweet malt and candi sugar with some nice floral hops (saaz?). Taste is well balance between sweet malt and candi sugar with a slightly bitter and floral hoppy finish. Carbonation is great and alcohol is well hidden. Another well-done beer from this great brewery.

Bottle. Opaque body, quick disappearing head. Aroma of coffee, oatmeal, and chocolate. Much oat in the flavour, like a comforting bowl of oatmeal on a cold morning. Bitter chocolate/coffee finish.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Vintage 2006 at 9.0% ABV. Clear, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Very fresh aroma of pine needles. Full, sweetish body with lots of caramel and wonderful flavours of pines and citrus - almost soapy perfumy, but never unpleasant and sticky as it manages to retain quite some freshness. The bitterness is not overwhelming and only seems to awake rather late on the palate. Yummy. 191206

This beer is a hazy amber-orange color with a medium thick and creamy ivory white head. Thin, spotty lacing. The aroma is fruity (mostly citrus) with a touch of spice and yeast. Medium-bodied with citrus, hops and bready malt flavors. Doesn’t taste very "Belgian" but as far as Golden Ales go it is pretty good. The finish is dry with a peppery hops aftertaste. Pretty good.

Alcohol extremely well covered!
