Unibroue 11

Has anybody here tried this beer yet? It's Unibroue's 11th anniversary beer, brewed to 11% alcohol. Anyways, I just popped one, and find that it's quite undercarbonated. Tastes kinda like a really young homebrewed Tripel. I know that 11% alcohol is relatively strong and may actually inhibit the carbonation process, but my concern is for aging further bottles of this beer, worrying that oxidation may be a given. So did I get a bum bottle, or is this release just undercarbonated? I have another bottle put away and was considering buying some more, but will I be wasting time & money, only to be disappointed in years to come?

Thanks, I figured it was kinda out of character both for a tripel, and Unibroue in particular.

I should also have mentioned that I find 11 to be a hell of a tasty beer, so you should give it another go on a hopefully better bottle. I've got a couple aging in the closet to round out the flavor and cut the bubbliness a bit. (and just to have some around for posterity)
