[Tasted with svoger.] VINTAGE 2004, 2 YEARS OLD Great brown look and aroma of sweet ingredients. Weak spicy flavor combined with sweetness, warmness and no hoppy taste. Quite good!

Bottle. 2006 edition. Murky reddish brown with light brown mostly diminishing head. Aroma is fresh with orange peel, malt and some lemon grass. Coriander and liqorice is detected. Flavor more restricted with sweet malt and some acidity. Finish pretty long and dominated by sweet and sour floral notes. Well made, but will probably improve by a years cellaring.
