The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of caramel. The color is dark amber and it has a beutiful head. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of cloves, corriander, and oranges. A good beer, but not as good as I had expected.

(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy amber golden with a creamy, off-white head leaving laces. Aroma of yeast and lightly sweet caramel. Fairly full-bodied, fruity with lightly caramelish malts. The finish is dry. Decent but not exactly thrilling. 030307

<i>Bottled at Belgobaren, Stockholm. </i> Hazy reddish amber, firm head. Perfumy toffeeish nose. Sweet with some red berries saccharine and cardboard. Fruity and rather thins and syrupy with notes of bread. No bitterness. Unrefined and a bit cloying. Disappointing and somewhat indutrial tasting ale.

33 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy amber with a light off-white head. Mild fruity, light spiced and caramel aroma. Flavour holds a light fruity note to a malty base, towards dark. Lingering fruity and yeasty finish.

<i>1994 vintage, sampled 2003.</i><br /><br />Hazy light copper; aroma shows apple fruitiness, brandy, lots of malt. Sweet, plums, apples, oxidized malts. Herbal, dry finish still manages to show some more sherryish malt notes.
