Aug 8, 2008 On tap @ De Geuzen last winter. Dark reddish brown, creamy head. Aroma of sweet malts, laurel, liquorice. Taste is sweet, malty, laurel and liquorice as well. Became cloying towards the end, too much sugar I guess. Lots of nice flavours though.

Aug 4, 2008 Updated: Aug 14, 2008From bottle. Dark redish brown, hazy. Little head that quickly goes away.Malty aroma. Very malty taste, burnt caramel. Carbonated. Taste not very complex, mostly malt. Somewhat sweet. Ok I guess. I am an Ale drinker venturing out into other worlds. I still prefer ales so my rating could be biased.

Dark brown/amber body. Caramelly and grainy nose. A superb malty taste, somewhat grainy. Brilliant, one of the shortest ratings for one of the beers I wanted to try the most. I really need to get this one again.

Jul 6, 2008 500 mL bottle poured in my mug I got in Ueberlingen in 2003.
Pours a dark amber color with a strong, off-white head that retains very well. Smell of burnt caramel, slight bit of earthy hops, and some dark fruit, most noteably some cherry. Smell still is a little weak for what I was expecting, good, but not very strong. Light toastiness in the taste. Certainly some burnt caramel is noticed as well as some slightly grainy flavors. Sweet caramel finish, that ends up being dry. Higher than medium carbonation with medium body. Very nice beer to drink, I think it may be even better when enjoyed straight from the brewery.
