| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 7, 2002 Weird, malty aroma. Taste is quite sweet. Never had a beer like this before. Good strong head. Glouglouburp (2887), Montreal, Quebec, Canada
| 0.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 2/10 | 2/5 | 1/10 | 2/5 | 1/20 | Jan 9, 2009 <b>In short: </b>An infected bottle
<b>How: </b>Bottle 330ml, consumed fresh a few weeks after receiving through private importation
<b>The look: </b>Cloudy orangy amber body topped by a medium but short-lived beige head
<b>In long: </b>Rotting fruits, pop-corn, wine vinegar, undesired sourness. No need to go any further this is a seriously infected bottle. So infected that I couldn’t even try to make out what it was supposed to taste like. Drain poor. I’ve got another bottle from the same batch but after this monstrosity that other bottle will only gather dust like my “Eating Healthy and Stay Slim” cooking book.

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jul 24, 2007 Very rich maltiness, earthy caramel malts with a mild hop finish. Stays malty throughout with a light fruity finish that tastes like faintly tart cherries. Pours with very little carbonation, deep hazy red/brown color with just a thin white head. Nice beer, but could use a bit of carbonation. TaktikMTL (2786), Montréal-Nord, Quebec, Canada

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 21, 2006 Bottle. Beautiful red-brown with a large pillowy head. Sweet caramel-malt aroma, a little plummy fruit. Mostly caramel in this approachably sweet palate, maybe some stewed prunes. Nothing cloying-- very well-balanced. Excellent. harlequinn (2745), Tacoma, Washington, USA
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 8, 2004 This was like eating a loaf of dark bread. Lots of malt with a sweetness in the aftertaste. Easy to drink, but really there is not too much to say about this one. nick76 (2694), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 28, 2005 Nice aroma and flavor. The aroma is sweet and malty as expected. The appearance is a medium brown and it has a nice head. The flavor is very malty and lightly malted. Its is also a little toasted. Nice caramel aftertaste.
