Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

I LOVE this beer, I like it especially when it lies a few years in a basement (min 4)! The evolution is huge, for me this is the king of beers :) Very dark with a lot of yeast, the way I like it!
One of the best beers in the world. I love to have one (or two) after chowing down some mussels and frits!
super alcoholic in smell, looks pretty great, kinda cloying in taste, smooth enough.
