Bottle. Brown colour. Some sweet dark fruit. Mouthfeel is stale and sweet, and appears to be slightly oxidised. Light yeastyness.

Bottle @kookfest, September 2006. Age uncertain but obviously quite old. Darkish brown colour. Intensely sweet. Some figgy fruit. Perhaps there was more to this beer in its youth but, by this stage, there was nothing much but the sweetness left. The juniper and herbs had quite faded away.

Bottle @ Kookfest. Sweet cherrys, malt and minimal hops. Too sweet to appreciate the flavours.

Bottle at Kookfest 2006. Very dark brown/red, lasting beige head. Toffee and raisiny, sweet. OK but just way too sweet.

Bottle, from the GBBF Collectable Stand (Unknown Vintage): Deep ruby brown with a short, lasting beige head. Raisins in the nose, with a slight aciditic there too. Big prune flavoute. Very smooth body. Loads of port-wine like flavours and old fruit. Really suprising and pleasant beer.

Had it in the Kulminator, Antwerp. It was about a year overtime. Nice amber colour, rather small head. Malty sweet-herby aroma. Fullb body, rather unusual palate, herby. Finish is smouth. A rather good one this.

Amberish beer with nice off white foam. Soft aromas of caramel, malts, fruits?, spices and herbs. Taste is round and well balanced. It ends with some hops.
