| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Mar 9, 2009 25cl 1996 vintage from the Kulminator, pours dark brown with a tall very frothy tan head. Aroma is roasted and smoked malt with some brown sugar and light liqorice. Flavors are very pleasant...time has done good things to this beer. Roasted malt and some fruity yeast flavors fill the mouth with a creamy feel and round out with a light spice of cinnamon and some raisin flavors in the finish with absolutely no sign of alcohol. Just lovely. yespr (12024), Copenhagen O, Denmark
