Grabbed this recently on account of it being made with "honey, raisins and rosemary". Intriguing enough for me.
Big raisiny aroma (sort of reminds me of Dogfish Head's Raison D'etre, but it's been a while since I've had one of those), with a little dark bready malt and a hint of alcohol. Big, sweet Belgiany taste: sugar and fruit up front, dark portery malt in the middle, and a little hint of rosemary in the finish. The rosemary is definitely not overplayed, and its subtlety is appreciated. There's just enough there to really play off the other flavors well.
I am totally about this. It might be a little sweet for some, but I doubt it's that bad. It's a little like a Belgianized sweet stout with a few twists. I would absolutely love to see how this ages. Very recommended.
