3/2015 score was 4.07
Had an 3yr aged bottle on 6/22/17 (added to my Got's list in May 2014). Virtually no head when poured out. In an etched glass it does still bubble up. Very smooth and no boozy feel to it. Almost all that sweet aroma you get from a big Belgian of the candy and molasses is what you taste. Subtle bit of fruit still in there. Again no alcohol burn or body to it. Didn't age half bad but will probably try to go a lil fresher next time :P 4.29 rating

A bit too strong, but very rich and distinct. It’s flavorful, but too much will but you in a coma! I’ve had better, but Sierra Nevada knows how to brew so well I may eventually like this above other Belgians.
