| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 12, 2007 Dark red colored, little light brown head. Strong chocolate dominates this aroma, sweet licorice and coffee also there with mild alcohol. Medium bodied. Flavor is more sour with still this dominating chocolate, still not so obvious here than in aroma. Aftertaste turns to licoricy with drying tone, mild alcohol also comes up. charlotte (2036), Vanløse, Denmark

| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Nov 16, 2007 75 cL bottle, vintage 2004 at Jacobson from the Carlsberg cellar. Pours deep brown to black with a dense chocolate brown head, large sediments floating around - tasty though :) Aroma is thick chocolate with a mild roasted note - has a whiff of a wineous tone too. Flavour is smooth chocolate - the ageing suites this brew well. Has a soft smooth chocolate and malty finish with a mild wineous tone. Nice. BeerBiker (1392), Kathmandu, Nepal

Could have more body, but some years in the cellar will do that. Rastacouere (5564), Montréal, Quebec, Canada
