I brewed the recipe I referenced above a couple years ago. It was close to Rare Vos after a fair amount of time aging. I don't think I had dialed in temperature control at that point, which would be crucial.
 
I brewed the original recipe in November, let it ferment and age in primary until March. I ust tapped the keg last night (March 3) and really enjoyed it. I wouldn't call it a rare vos clone, but it is a very good beer.
Aroma is floral honey, spice and fruit. I plum after carb. Apple, pear, or just fruit was apparent before carbonation.
Flavor is very similar to aroma with gentle alcohol warmth. Complex, light and very enjoyable.
This won't last long. Thanks HBT!
 
I brewed this again back in July (three months ago) using wlp 500 (monastery ale). It's good but totally missing the huge fruitiness from the batch I brewed with wlp 540.
