Darn good. Nursed it over the day and was quite pleased with it...one of the best Belgian not from Belgium beers I've had. Not an elite beer but excellent. A 2013, posting a second note here in NV as haven't decided if it wouldn't be better just to have NV when it comes to beer. Vintage certainly helps w/ drinking window, but kinda like the idea of all the tasting notes together...

Drank this along side a new Three Philosophers (this had about 2.5 years of bottle age on it). Most prominent difference was the reduced carbonation, smoothness that had developed and overall mellowing of flavors. The aged beer was all banana/orange marmalade that had developed with smooth secondary fruit and floral flavors vs the younger which was much more coriander and orange peel. In my opinion, this beer could lay down many many more years with no problem. Interesting comparison.

Cherries, syrupy. Less carby.
