The abv has dropped to 8%, but is still potent enough to give a full body and a kind of belgian stamina. It's fruity, sourish, quite belgian in its character. Unfortunately, I didn't have a belgo-glass at hand, so I had from a tall glass which did chew a bit off its aroma. In my own notes I characterized it as an "after dinner, winter warmer, or dessert / cheese platter beer". An excellent brew in every way.

Hopefully they will distribute this out to Colorado like they do the BCS. I am definitely a big believer in cellar aging good beer. The hardest part is to leave it alone for all those months. Best to stock up and open one every 6 months or so. That helps. If this brew is as good as they make their Bourbon County Stout I’ve gotta try some of this.
