| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 24, 2007 750 ml bottle. A hazy dark brown beer with reddish reflections and a medium sized light brown head. Very sweet powerful aroma with fruity notes and some alcohol. Also the flavour is very sweet, malty with strong sweet wine notes. Flavours of dried fruits too. Strong body, sweetish and well warming alcoholic finish. Very low bitterness. Long aftertaste. Well done, pleasant and satisfacting but maybe this has really too much sweetness to be really great. Perhaps it would become better with cellaring, but overall very enjoyable. emacgee (1892), Chapel Hill, North Carolina, USA

| 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Sep 11, 2007 75cL bottle, BBE 04/08. Pours a deep mahoghany color with very dense tan foam that leaves great lacing and never quite dies. Aroma is all sorts of dried fruits with subtle rum notes. Big malty flavor, more dried fruits, little bit of fig, finishes with plums soaked in rum. Very nice body, not too rich in the mouthfeel. World class and underrated by most in my book.
