jeeneh (2), Netherlands does not count | 4.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Dec 31, 2009 It is told that this beer gets better if you store it for at least a year. I guess the beer deserves it. But its far to tasty to leave it alone for such a long time. Sammy (4064), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 28, 2009 yeasty concoction, no head. Alcohol in the nose and some of the taste. Average mouthfeel. Passable drinkable taste, but nothing complex or special, and alcohol is right there.Bottle from the Netherlands, Bierkoning. LomYst (17), Netherlands
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 12, 2009 one of the great dutch beers... very complex with lots of malts, yeast, honey, black candy (what’s that stuff called in english?) chocolat and somehints of ftruit... one small point of critic, it pours without a head....

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 2, 2009 Bottle at ’In de Wildemaan’, Amsterdam, 29-10-09 Pours deep mahogany with a creamy of-white head. Sweet malts and mollasses come to the fore and strangely I get a hint of cheese rind on nose. The taste is rich, with demarara sugar, thick malts, but its slightly bitter. There is a tinge of sourness as well, a big but very good beer. A7 A4 F7 P4 Ov14 3.6 spkevin (75), Doetinchem, Netherlands

Always enjoy this one. Stong aroma with a strong, sweet, roasted taste. Beer is better aged. Wil drink this one over and over again! mcdav2154 (297), Germany
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 4, 2009 Poured aggressively and there was no head at all. Just a thin cream film over its dark brown/reddish body. No lacing either. Smell of roasted malt, raisins, and smoke. Taste was the same with hardly any bitterness from the hops. Nice beer but I wish there was a stronger bitterness to it. fobar (75), Søgne, Norway

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Sep 8, 2009 The best of all the labels of Hertog Jan. Dark reddish-brown color.

Long lasting aftertaste with no bitternes at all. Nice body, pleasant palate.
