Oct 31, 2009 330 mL bottle. (bb 14/07/12). Dark ruby-amber with a frothy two-finger white head. Nice lacing. Aroma is sweet, with dark fruit, brown sugar and yeast. Flavour is also quite sweet, with dried fruit such as raisins and prunes, licorice, a touch of chocolate, and caramel. Good body. A little sweet, but a very nice beer nonetheless.

Sep 27, 2009 very nice head with good lacing, body is dark amber/brown/ruby, clear,aroma is caramelly malts, spices and a good deal of alc and yeast, then come biscuits, orange peel and liqueur, At the first sip it is smooth sweet, but afterwards there comes bitter/sour taste fighting against caramelly/syrupy notes, there is also strong numbness like after eating orange peel or just pepper, conclusion great,mature brew from land of strong beer, a bit too sweet but kicks in the head

Sep 27, 2009 Bottle 330ml. Mind-blowing. Aroma has biscuits, chocolate, port, and dark fruit. Flavour starts sweet, to explode in a combination of bitter-sweet notes that last long. Full-bodied, nice mouthfeel, and some alcohol in the finish. Dark brown in colour with a long-lasting but thin head.
