clear dark red, whispy off white head, touch of lace, huge sweet ripe fruit aroma with strong figs and dates, sweet chocolate malt flavor well blended with great fruity character, light bitterness in the finish adds just the right amount of bitterness

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 27, 2000 Rich, dark Belgian ale. Strong dark fruit notes, and probably too much yeast for my tastes. fiulijn (7150), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 16, 2002 Dark amber ale. Malt aroma, spicy, fruity. Sweet, strong malt flavour; this brew still needs some aging. The palate is equilibrate. KimJohansen (7006), Copenhagen V, Denmark

| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 31, 2002 Hazy dark brown body that pours with a quickly dissipating head. Rich fruity aroma that’s all over the place -- I smell raisins, cherries, banana and vanilla. Sweet flavor, a bit yeasty and spicy, with alcohol undertones. harrisoni (6798), Ashford, Kent, England
| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Sep 14, 2005 Bottle. Dark brown/red beer withthin beige head. Choc and dark malts with some fruit and winey nose. Slightly sweet in mouth. Finish is ultimately very hoppy and dry with more choc/wine. Got better as the beer went on. TBone (6756), Pori, Finland

Clear ruby color, big off-white head. Aroma has grapefruit, raisins and malt. Sweetish balanced palate: sugar, toffee, alcohol. Full-bodied and pleasant. Maria (6225), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 5, 2007 Dark brown with a huge, lasting head. The aroma has sweetness, malt plum and figs. The flavour is sweet, but not cloying. It has notes of brown sugar, raisin, plum and citrus just before the finish and after a brief pause it returns in the dry finish. A beer to enjoy.
