4.5/5  rDev +11.1%
look: 4.25 | smell: 4.75 | taste: 4.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4.5
Poured from a 750 ml cork and cage bottle (couldn't find a bottled on date, but the guy who gave it to me said it was at the warehouse for roundabouts a year and the one case had arrived with some age already on it) into a temp glass. Pours a light honey amber color with ample head that lasts a while, but leaves little lacing. Smell is huge with notes of stone fruit, plums, maybe fig-like and a huge hit of spices like nutmeg and cloves, some banana-esque notes. Great nose on this! Taste is a tad more tame, but only a tad. A touch of sweet malts, huge yeast character and all those oh so lovely esters and phenols you want from a good Belgian ale, with the slightest alcohol flavor, but only slightly. Feel is surprisingly light in body for something with a huge 12% abv, but still full enough, with a slight warming alcohol presence in the swallow. Overall, a damn fine, so damn fine, Belgian ale, but I'd be scared to try this one without any age on it. But for me, this was a home run for sure!

basically from what i understand this expensive bottle is a bottle conditioned (or refermented) edition of the basic scaldis brew. i expected it to be far more dry and bubbly than it is, and frankly prefer the base beer to this one for whatever reason. the elegance and refinement is lost on me. amber in color with a nice head but a ton of massive yeast chunks, literally as big as jelly beans, floating all over the place. i get a ton of sweet caramel malt on the nose, with a classic belgian yeast strain, smells like a sweeter blonde, not so much like an amber. prickly carbonation hits my nose too, but the sweetness is intense, and there is a desserty vibe to it, and the alcohol is hidden well for how big it is. the taste is as sweet as the nose, i thought the bottle conditioning would clean this up much more than it does. layers of brown sugar and caramelized cereal grain come up, and the belgian yeast that makes the base beer so distinct is a little muted here. a well made beer no doubt, but the base needed verily little improving. for the price i would skip this one and pick up the original every time.
