| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 28, 2004 Vintage 1992. Had this rare found at Akkurat in Stockholm. Pours clear cognac colored with a fizzy fast disappearing white head. Aroma is extreme acidic, so much it makes my eyes water!! Very vinous and fruity with apple and citrus notes and hint of De Dolle yeast. Flavor is also tart and acidic but more vinous than sour. Citrus, herbs and yeast notes. Strong, sharp and so warming I can feel it flowing down my throat. Shows some age, but still it matured very well. A very interesting and different experience!! lachesis (759), St Idesbald, Belgium
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 2, 2004 Sampled in Alveringem. 1992 Vintage.
Color of old gold with still good livelyness in the beer and with a medium head. Tipical De Dolle aroma’s with touch of citrus, caramel, honeyed malts, buttercakes and some medicinale aroma’s which is normal for an old beer of this type. It has a soft taste with a round mouthfeel. In the taste you can notice some hints of stonefruits, some maltyness, hints of butter toffee’s and a fine vegetal bitterness with again a medicial touch in the afthertaste. ante (2956), Stockholm, Sweden
