| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 9, 2005 Well the head sure didn’t last long, but the clear copper/ruby body had strong eye appeal. The aroma is a fruity one, cherries and plums, with some spiciness. The flavor is very candy-like, caramel malts with molasses, hot spices, and alcohol. It has a dry, spicy, alcoholic finish. Not a great abt, but a pretty decent drink. JPDIPSO (4932), Wauwatosa, Wisconsin, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 7, 2002 Deep copper color, with an off-white, smallish sprity head. Floral/fruity aroma includes orange zest. Very sweet throughout - unbalanced so. Could not get past the sweetness us to much so. jbrus (4895), Delft, Netherlands
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 19, 2006 Bottled, UDRBG. Sweet fruity and light floral aroma. Amber color, off-white head, good lace. Sweet, floral, bitter, apple. Full, sticky, alcoholic. Very nice beer but lacks the complexity you’d expect with style and ABV. BückDich (4857), McCall, Idaho, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 12, 2004 Clear ruby bronze color with light carbonation and head, some stagnant lacing. The aroma is rich with some dark malts and a belgian yeast strain. The hops are very light faint and crisp with some more creamy caramel & molasses flavors. This really has a balanced, somewhat acidic flavor, more on the side of tangy but lots of yeast and lots of rich dark maltiness. The finish has some alcohol with more spices and dark malts. Decicious beer for sure, this is a abt worthy of competition with the likes of rochefort and westvleteren. chriso (4852), London, Greater London, England
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | Oct 5, 2006 Bottle, at Københavnske Øldage, May 2006. Mid amber colour - quite pale for a quad (not that I’ve had too many). Very fat and rich aroma. Jammy fruit, with plums, and I do get cherries too. Also spicy orange peel, maybe marmalade. On the palate there’s more of the sae. Boozy and liquorous. Rather sweet for my taste and a bit sticky. A hot alcoholic afterburn didn’t enhance the experience. A sipper for sure. I think I might struggle with a full bottle.

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 14, 2005 Bomber bottle with a very interseting label. hazzy dark amber with medium head that diminished quickly. Complex sweet fruit aroma. Medium body with smooth texture. Complex full flavor with long sweet finish with a small alcohol bite. The brew was as interesting as the label. maeib (4767), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 22, 2009 Bottled. A reddy brown coloured beer with a minimal off white head. A typically Belgian yeasty candy sugar aroma which appears to provide alcoholic warmth to the nostrils. Boozy and fruity in the mouth. A little alcohol sting. Lots of sugary fruitiness. A decent effort, just wish it were more mellow.
