| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 18, 2008 This is pretty dang good. Pours a dark reddish brown color with a foamy light brown medium sized head. Nose is malty and sweet with dark fruits and spice. Taste is pretty smooth and very well balanced... at 9 percent the alcohol content is pretty well hidden and the finish is nice a warming. Everything was one point with this beer.

I’ve been drinking this for many years and it’s always good. This is a fresh batch but it ages well. Rich and smooth like a St. Bernardus or other smooth Belgian brown or strong ale. Some spice, raisin, bitter fruit rind, candy sugar, hops...nice balance. anders37 (4700), Malmö, Sweden
