Dec 2, 2005 Brown-redish colour, off white head, clear. Heavy aroma, alcohol is dominant. Smouth taste in the begining. Ends strong, alcoholic taste. Strong finish.

Nov 11, 2005 Bottle. Beige head. Amber body. Scent of sour berries. Smooth palate. Fruity flavor. Surprisingly easy to drink for such a strong beer. Be careful out there.

Nov 3, 2005 Bottle, 33cl. A pleasent surprise. Much better than Grimbergen Dubbel, Triple or even Cuvée de L’ermitage. Beautiful red/amber colour, with a long lasting beige head that leaves a fine lace in glass. The aroma is probably the thing that’s less developed in this beer: malt and caramel but nothing very intense. Flavour is fantastic! A little sweet at the beggining, it becomes powerful and complex. Alcohol is always there but not overwhelming. Dry aftertaste. Great beer!

Aug 19, 2005 Bottled. Caramelly, malty with a hint of tartness in the aroma. Alcoholic, malty, bitter taste. Has a weird flavour that in combination with the alcoholic flavour forms the impression of a cheap European strong lager. Sugary and some herbal notes. I never was a particular fan of Grimbergen, but it´s easy to say that this is the worst of their line-up.

Aug 13, 2005 Light, generic malt aroma. Red with a small head. Malt and fruit flavors; the flavor is much better than the aroma. Medium body. Alcohol hidden well. Bottle was 2 years old.

Aug 10, 2005 Bottle. Majestic-looking reddish-brown with a medium head. Let’s see...this is a total cornuicopia of fruits, with apples leading the way followed by pears, cherries, and nectarines. Hints of brown sugar as well. Flavor has some alcohol in the back end as well as sugar cane, like that "Sugar in the Raw" stuff they have in brown packets in some restaurants. Somewhat effervescent, well-masked 10%.
