Nice deep ruby-mahagony colored beer, poured clear with a nice foamy tan head that diminishes slowly to a small, delicious lacing one. Fine, alluring aroma with caramel and fine toasred malt, belgian yeast, candy sugar and pleasant fruits. Rich body, fine texture with roundish mouthfeel. Flavor of candy, caramel and toasted malt, moderated fruity esters like plum and raisins. Some roasted character in the fine aftertaste. Direct hit of the style. Pyobon (271), Sydney, Australia
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 28, 2008 Bottle. Poured dark red brown with a slight beige head. Great aroma with malt, fruits (pears / bananas) and some smokiness. Full bodied, even sticky; well carbonated. The flavour is bold; predominantly dark malt / toffee with fruity / estery flavours, sweetness and bitterness. There is a very long finish primarily of pleasant bitterness and esters / banana / fruit. It is a very well balanced and enjoyable beer.
