Sometimes ya oughta grab one from the back of the storage. Age hasn’t mellowed this boozy beast much. A touch of raisin sweetness on the back end.

Whoa, this now tastes like a light-bodied port. Deep, rich toasty malt flavors, with raisin standing out first and foremost. This may have actually improved with age. I remember thinking it was starting to get bitter last time I drank one of these

I've had this a few times, finally checking in. Boozy, malty, Belgiany goodness.

Dark fruit, brown sugar, and booze notes. This beer is always great, and gets superb with age!

Even though this is a high ABV the aging mellowed out the boozy ness. Complex flavors with notes of brown sugar cinnamon raisins very malty. Excellent thanks Bud!

Picked up a bunch on close out DFH prob won’t make again. Big fan of this, still a little hot. I’ve got plenty to try over the next decade.

Caramel, raisins, and sweetness in aroma. Taste follows aroma along with a ton of booze. Bottle share. Bottled on 12/13/18 1433. Thanks, Neighbor Jerry! Late checkin.

Booooooozy. Almost like a wine. Well aged but not my fav...

Initially, I thought it drank a few years older than an ‘18. But at room temp, sips nicely. The sugars from the raisins provide a great natural mask for the booze. $10/ 12oz bottle is steep. But from time to time, I’d scope out again.

Rich raisin and maybe plum. A strong ale type of sweetness that flows smooootj.

Sweet brown sugar and raisin dominate. Mild Belgium hints. Full of flavor. Should have aged this a few more years but could not resist. Feeling some heat on this big 16%. Hope they continue to make this. Outstanding!

Haven’t had any vintage of this in 6.5 years. Forgot how good this is. Brown sugar boozy soaked raisin goodness. 4.40ish

16.5% Belgian Strong Dark Ale brewed with raisins. I’m at a loss about the raisins, I can taste them, but this brew is about the Belgian Strong Dark Ale and the ABV. If they tried to hide the ABV they failed! Smooth and heavy bodied this is a sipping ale!

Better aged for 5 years or so, 2007 and 2015 were better.
