I got this a year ago when I first noticed TJs was putting out a Christmas beer. Had one bottle then, and wasn't a fan(though my pallet has changed a bit since then Id say) Ive had some of the 2008 recently and liked it. So Im looking forward to this. Unlike most TJs beer, this is actually brewed by Unibroue a well regarded Belgian-style brewery out of Quebec.
I opened up this bottle last night at my friends Nog N Glog party
First Impressions: Dark and cloudy
ABV: 9
Taste: Small bite at first, then a highly carbonated effervescent middle, followed by a malty slightly sweet end.
Overall: great. Im a bit surprised, at how much I like this. Its significantly better then the bottle I had last year. I think the other Belgian dubbel's Ive had recently helped in that, as well as serving it at 50 degrees instead of 40ish(fridge temp) as I noticed that the other Belgian dubbels I had got better after sitting out and warming up a bit.
Ohh and the best part about it(and TJs vintage ale in general) is its $5 for a 750
