Bottle. It pours a reddish dark brown body, slightly hazy, with a small, creamy, beige head on top. The aroma is malty sweet, with some beef stock, toffee, alcohol, syrupy sweetness and prunes. Slighlty spiced too maybe. It’s warming and creamy effervescent in the mouth, and has lots of malty, syrupy sweetness, a quite generous hoppy bitterness to battle the sweetness, dried fruits, prunes and sultanas, beef-stock and a little spicy touch. A good dash of toffee too. Lasting, warming finish with lots of sweetness. A big beer almost screaming for a snack. Tried some sausage, gouda and mustard, which was nice.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Nov 16, 2008 11.2oz from Glouglouburp - thanks, Dany! Dark, slightly cloudy amber. Very powerful malty smell, a barely detectable trace of pungent herbs, almost like mint with lamb, and a spicy note in there as well. Slight smoke, but cools out somehow – maybe a menthol sharpness is more accurate. Sweet as it warms, but not sticky. A hint of booze, but nice. Maria (6286), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 2, 2008 It’s incredibly beautiful, slightly hazy dark red with a creamy and lasting head. The aroma has a light sweetness and it’s very aromatic. It has notes of roasted malt and syrup. The flavour has sweetness and notes of roasted malt with a light, roasted bitterness, loads of caramel, maple syrup, raisin and other dark/dried fruits. It’s very well composed and harmonic, but a little too sweet in the long run, but perfect for sharing.
