| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 3, 2006 A deep red beer with lots of sediment floating around under a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of berries, fruit, wood, and malt. The flavor is seet malty with primary notes of berries, but also lighter notes of wood towards the end - which makes the end dry. The alcohol leaves a slight burn behind. JorisPPattyn (5192), Antwerpen, Belgium
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 3, 2004 Dark brown, reddish shine; grey-brown head irregular. Nice cypress smell, on tap of dark malts, and a soy-sauce (ketjap)aroma. Liquorice, (very) sweet stout-like. OK, but maybe just a bit one-dimensional. Very carbonated, at the verge of fizzy. Full-bodied, but sweetness makes it taste thinner than it is. Great nose, sorry about the palate. I do not think it's Proef who went wrong - rather the commissioners. SHIG (2044), Aviano, Italy
