Nov 29, 2006 pours nicely with a lovely head, but this soon dissipates. A lovely initial smell and tart taste that only improves with age....gorgeous

Nov 28, 2006 Bottled(330ml). –Deep reddish/brown coloured, medium sized beige head. Aroma is malty, fruity (raisins, cherries, orange) and spicy with notes of toffee, chocolate and obvious alcohol presence with just a tiny coriander hint. Pleasant spicy finish.

Nov 25, 2006 Bottle. Poured a dark amber brown with a medium white head with medium lacing. Chocolate, caramel and dark fruit aroma. Taste can only be described as wonderful. Very sweet taste comprised of dark fruit, chocolate and carmel. There was a little alcohol taste but not harsh. It was slightly stick on lips but still had some carbonation on the tongue. Not quite as good as their grand cru, which is probably my favorite beer, but has instanly become one of my favorites.

Nov 23, 2006 The 11.2 ounce bottle poured a hazy dark mahogany brown colored beverage with a small off-white head that was mostly diminishing but left some lacing on the glass. The aroma was highly complex mix of fruits and spices with notes of dark berries, dates, raisins, banana, pepper and coriander. The body was medium-full with normal carbonation and a smooth slightly dry texture. The flavor starts off sweet but not overly sweet and stays that way through the medium-long finish. The sweet taste is composed of many of the flavors that the aroma displays. Very nice.

Nov 19, 2006 750ml bottle picked up at Alko in Tampere and sampled at a drinking party in Tromsø. Inviting dark brown red-tinged body with great clarity and a fading off-white foam. Port-like profile. Spicy to the nose. Taste of sweet, dark berries with a yeasty touch towards the end. Almost full bodied. Decent brew, but too much candy sweetness to get a higher score (18.11.2006).

Nov 11, 2006 Drank in a stem glass. Small long lasting dark amber head. Dark copper body. Aromas of blackberries, plums while getting warmer there were aromas of dates, raisins and a hint of wine yieast. Caramel, bananas and old wine barrels completed the aromas of this amazing beer. Light bitterness and a creamy alcohol finish. Flavors of caramel, honey and Mcintosh apple puree. The aromas of wine was very well transfered to the flavors. Extremely well balanced beer.

Nov 1, 2006 Reddish brown with a lasting, light, tan coloured head. Aroma of sweet, dried fruits and fortified vine, and just a hint of quite christmassy spices.
Quite pleasing and warming taste of chocolate (not the bitter kind mind you), raisins, vanilla and maybe some cherries or blackberries - can’t quite decide.
Not the most exciting beer ever but definetely well breved and very pleasant.
