| 2.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Aug 26, 2005 Bottled. Clear amber. Neutral aroma. Sweet with clean mouithfeel, notes of yeast and a dryish finish. Incredibly neutral for a Belgian ale, what did they do with all flavours? sayravai (3773), Helsinki, Finland
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 13, 2005 (Bottled) Very nice, quite clear, very reddish dark brown color with a small, tight and tanned head. Roasted-malty flavor with dried fruit, hops, berries, and hints of anise and toffee. A bit raw and metallic, if too cold. Sweetish and fruity, somewhat bitter flavor with plums, candy and cherries. Syrupy-sugary aftertaste. Medium-bodied, slicky palate with foamy carbonation. A bit thin for the ABV, yet doesn’t feel very alcoholic because of the sweetness. Good-looking and reasonably complex, but too sweet to be truly enjoyable. Papsoe (15107), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 17, 2005 (Bottle 75 cl) Reddish amber, presumably clear and filtered. Nice, beige head which collapses rather quickly. Fusty smell and lots of yeast. Slight vinous touch. Also yeasty flavours and some earthy notes. Roasted malt, some caramel and some candi sugar - not excessively sweet though. But the carbonation is a bit too much. A dark Tripel? That’s rather unusual. 160705 TBone (6850), Pori, Finland
