Flavor is really nice, with a palate that goes from sweetness to soury and a really bitter hoppy finish. Enjoyable! DruncanVeasey (2768), The Penguin’s Arms, Europe, Warwickshire, England

Lightly infected aroma (butterscotch, diacethyl (?)), fenols, malts (medium strong), wine, ... Quite badly balanced aroma. Moderately bitter, moderately sweet flavour. Flavour is ok, although the balance is not perfect, but that’s not really disturbing. Powdery dry mouthfeel. Bart (1670), Brussels, Belgium
