Aug 26, 2007 Bottle. Hazy, brown body, topped by a big, lasting, tan to beige head, leaving nice lacings. Roasted, coffee, dried fruits and some cellar in the aroma. Sugary flavor with roasted malt, coffee, a little oxidation and some dried and fresh fruits. Full to medium body, quite dry. Sugary, roasted finish with some oxidation and spices. It is maybe a bit sweet, but it is a lovely beer drank as a winter warmer. (070637)

Aug 25, 2007 Bottle. Low brown head. Pretty black body. Aroma of caramel and coffee with vineous notes and a heavy alcohol dominance. Heavily carbonated acidic if not just pain sour. Alcohol and carbonation is killing everything else this bear migh taste of. Coffee maybee ? Cocoa ? Nuts ? Balrey malt ? Nooen will ever know.

Aug 23, 2007 11.2 oz bottle. Pours a lucious dark brown with a garnet tinge when held to light. Forms a microcosm of velvet beige foam which simply never dissipates throughout the beer’s lengthy session. As it slowly warms, it relinquishes notes of treacle, sour raspberries, even a vague melon tinge to the dominant malt sweetness of the nose. On the palate, it is miraculously full-bodied, silky smooth, notes of ginger, brown sugar, red wine, sour fruit, and pleasant yeast bite giving way to mild bitterness and wheat malt profile in a lovely lengthy finish. This one’s a true original (hahaha).

330ml bottle (Kaunis Kampela, Helsinki, Belgian Weeks)
Hazy deep red, tiny head. Sweet malty and, on swirling, very estery aroma. Harsh carbonation - really needs a swirl. Very pleasant rubbery burnt corner to the taste, but pretty sticky. There’s a touch of sourness to the aroma too. Competant belgian, nothing special.

Slightly muddy orange with a frothy head. Strong and unsubtle. Very malty but a bit sharp.

Aug 18, 2007 Bottle. Hazy orange/copper color with a huge head. Good retention, spare lacing. Aroma of yeast, brown sugar and dark fruit (plums, mostly). Sweet taste with grapes and dark fruit. Somewhat vinous texture. Astringent finish. Complex and tasty.

Aug 18, 2007 Updated: Jan 21, 2008Dark, malty, raisin notes. Gingerbread. Cherry. Enthusiastic carbonation but swiftly subsiding head. Perfect palate. Strong and delicious beer that delivers smiles. The alcohol is detectable but integrated. DeDolle rocks.
