| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 4, 2006 Vintage 2005 - thanks GonZoBeeR. Pours near black with dark ruby hues and a thin, foamy tan head. Aroma of plums, toffee, sweet caramelized wort, figs, cherries. Taste is comlpex caramelized maltiness exhibiting a bouqet of fruity flavors and sweet vinous maltiness. Notes of prunes, plums, toffee, oak, and chocolate with a bit of roasty astringency. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with soft, supple carbonation. There are some noticable hops in here, but not enough to make them distracting, still ’true’ to style, despite their disdain for ’tight, little categories’. This is a nice beer that makes me want to visit Quebec Ungstrup (15430), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 26, 2006 [Vintage 2005 - sampled March 2006] A deep red beer with a nice brown head. The aroma is very complex with strong notes of prunes, combined with notes of alcohol, chocolate, and berries. The flavor is less interesting, but still nice; quite sweet with quite strong notes of berries, combined with lesser notes of prunes, wood, alcohol, and roasted malt. The end is quite dry with notes of wood lingering. Jeppe (2638), Ølbutikken, Denmark

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2006 Dark amberish burgundy color, with no carbonisation, just a lipid red amber liquid. No head at all, just a small lace that dissapeared, I guess it was shy! Hops come out of that beer, a sweet bitter smell sugar too. The taste is like the smell, sweet, very bitter, hopish beer, with extracts of sugar reminding me of syrup at time, a tiny bit dry.
