| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 16, 2005 Bottle. Dark brown colour. Very surprising fresh hop aroma - not citrusy or anything just fresh - smells almost like a pale ale! Mouthfeel is a tad watery, but there is an interesting taste here - hoppy, malty for sure mixed with something I couldn’t quite figure out - just not your typical Belgian Strong, that’s for sure. Not hint of alcohol. A strange, yet enjoyable beer that maybe just needs to figure out what it is. lachesis (759), St Idesbald, Belgium
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 13, 2005 Nice beer with a darkamber brownish color and a fluffy beige head. Good aroma’s of malts, dry raisins, marsalla wine and cake. Soft taste with a smooth caracter and nice hints of milkbread, raisins, ahorn sirup, amaretto and cookies. Faint hoppy and burned bitterness in the aftertaste. jerc (3911), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jan 29, 2005 Hazy brown body with a massive fluffy off white head. Lofs of hops in the aroma which caught me off guard, some malt as well. Flavour is like a malty dubbel with a fair helping of hoppy bitterness over top, and dry alcohol. Medium bodied, smooth. Thanks for sharing Tupalev. goldtwins (4080), Nesconset, New York, USA

Flavors were sweet, caramel, and doughy. Dry finish. Alcohol taste was hidden and gave a nice warming sensation.
