Well, it's a 2015 release. And the beer aged quite great. Classic roasted malts and yeast, think of Rochefort 12. Sweet with loads of chocolate. Fat and boozy. Just great. I have another one, will keep it for 8 more years )

Strong and fruity with a very Belgian aftertaste and ends just a little bitter. Very solid beer!

Been holding onto this bottle for a couple years now… finally opened it up. Super tasty, very mellow for a 10%. Reminds me a lot of Westvleteren 🔥

Pure perfection. High Belgian esters backed with caramel. Too bad Shelton Bros folded.

2017 bottling *poured a bit cloudy from recent transfer to fridge - I might have given it a few more days to sit. Nevertheless even poured cold this is really beautiful at first sip. Still waiting on the nose to warm the initial flavor is >
