Had this on-tap appropriately enough at the Brick Store Pub (BSP), and a lovely beer it was fresh and on draught. Pours a beautiful burnished mahogoney with a very nice head and beautiful lacing. Smells of banana, clove, prunes, and brown sugar as well as some other warm spices. Not too sweet in the nose. Tastes very nice. Deep, slightly woody, with lots of fruit and citrus and some tannins underlying everything and lending structure. Smooth, but with good body, and not too sweet. A great effort.

Poured from a 2010 22 ounce that had been cellared in a beer fridge for 7ish years.
I drank one of these when it was fresh years ago and the flavors have definitely mellowed and muddled over time. A tasty beer although not the best from this style that I have had. A relatively thick mouthfeel. Dark brown in color. Flavors include burnt sugar

On tap at the brewery.
Pours with a fine looking red-brown body topped by a decent head.
Rich and moderately complex aroma features wood and dark dried fruits.
Dark fruits in the flavor, as expected, but with a touch more hop flavor and bitterness than expected. Improved with some warming.

2010 22 oz bottle.
Pours a dark brownish amber with a thin film of light tan head and a thick ring of small bubbles. Sweet nose of plum, grape, bubblegum, candi sugar and light yeast. Medium thick body with light carbonation and a clean fruity finish. Plum, dark fruit skin, green apple and sweet chocolate dominate flavor. Not quite as complex as the best of the style, and getting a little muddled with age, but still enjoyable.

22oz bomber into a tulip - thank you santa!
A: Pours a muddy brown with a decent light tan head that fades to a ring and leaves a tiny bit of lacing on the glass.
S: The nose is immediately sweet and fruity with nice notes of cherries, prunes, toffee, and a touch of grape. It's pretty in your face and lets you know what's to come.
T: The taste starts with the fruity elements in the form of grapes, cherries, figs, and moves to the estery yeast flavors from the belgian yeast.
M: The feel is medium bodied and creamy. The booze is a bit evident here as well which knocks the score down a bit.
O: This has potential but everything is a bit over the top. I bet after a few years this thing would be damn good. Should have sat on it longer...
