I had purchased a case of the 2009 vintage and sampled a bottle last year. This blog is for the April 2011 tasting, after 18 months in the cellar.
The ABV is 10.0 and the IBU rating is ??
Style - Belgium Strong Dark
Glass to use- Snifter, Tulip, Goblet, Oversized Wine Glass Delivery - 755ml Bottle
Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.
The Pour - Pours a brown color with a tan head that vanishes. Good lacing.
Aroma - Malty and fruity.
Taste - Sweet, malty and caramel.
Mouth Feel - Very carbonation, in fact the cork blew off when I was uncorking the bottle. Medium to full body. Very fizzy, typical for a Belgium.
Drinkable - Much better the second time after aging it for 18 months. Cant wait to see what it will taste like in another year.
This beer may pair well with cheese and grilled meats.
This beer gets a Duper rating of A.
BeerAdvocate Rating =A-
Ratebeer Rating = 99
