| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 31, 2009 2004 version. 136th rate of this beverage. Consumed this one after the Mikkeller Simcoe while watching Dexter in bed. An interesting nightcap. Interesting aroma somewhat akin to an aged tripel. Dust, sweet caramel and bready notes, touch of bittering hops, some fruity notes underlying in there too. Somewhat yeasty, but dulled due to age. Pours a hazy golden amber with a thin non lasting head and tons of floating debris in there. Sweet flavors initially, caramel, touch of dust, some oxidized notes, pepper, and light bitterness. Sweeter than expected. A touch of alcohol. It was okay, not unpleasant by any means, probably better closer to 2004. Lubiere (4529), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
