| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Nov 22, 2006 Wow! This beer was pure sugary syrup. Pours a dark copper. Smells as its tastes. Very sweet and velvety. A lot of heat on the finish and a very well hidden abv of 14.6%. Definetley a sipping beer for a cold winter night. This is a beer that will be killer with 3-4 years of aging. cab (863), Denmark

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 18, 2006 I wish I had cellared this after reading all of the other ratings, but I didn’t so I had a sickly sweet drink that was a bit tough to choke down. I see the promise in it though if cellared for a couple of years. PilsnerPeter (2612), Flushing, New York, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 16, 2006 Updated: Jun 20, 2008Sampled the 2005 batch in November of 2006: Pours hazy brown/ burgundy with fading tan head. Potent aroma of thick caramel malts, pineyness, nutmeg spicyness, toffee sweetness and even more I couldn’t catch. Huge beer. Thick sweetness. Maple syrup, rum soaked raisins, sugar covered dates, piney like roastyness, brown sugar, ginger snap cookies, roasted honey, peppery alcohol, and has a smooth warming feeling. It is very sweet, but it never seems artificial and is balanced by a nicely roasted toffeeish maltyness and a toasty warming dryness. It would definitly age well. This is an excellently rich and dessert like beer, made for moderation. garretjax (103), Colorado, USA
| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 8/20 | Nov 15, 2006 This is a monster indeed. This beer should sit a while before drinking. Like a year or two to balance it out. Dark reddish colors, and belgian style nose. Very sweet and syrupy. The alcohol is quite apparent. Again, once this beer is cellared from a while all this balances out and makes a fine beer. But who wants to wait? Batches 1,2 and 3 tasted with 2 being the best after time. jazz88 (2236), San Francisco, California, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 13, 2006 Bottle - Batch #1 (15.7% abv). Reddish brown color with a laced light brown head. Strong spices, sweet, Christmas-like flavors (dates, candy spices, nutmeg), vanilla, and cinnamon. Warming and noticeable alcohol. Rating from 2004 notes. Thanks to Nuffield for this one.
