Oct 30, 2005 Flavour is treacle, and brown sugar, opaque pomeganite in colour, pours an enormous, long lasting, rocky, off-white head, has lots of carbonation and plenty of lace. Tastes of candied malt, treacle and alcohol. Medium bodied, pleasantly sweet and warming(boozey) finish is a woody bitterness. Pretty good.

Oct 26, 2005 Opaque dark brown with lots of floaties and a large beige head. Sweet aroma with toffee malts and dark raisin fruits. There’s a bitter balance to the flavour, serving it a lovely lasting aftertaste. The medium palate is bolstered by the sweetness and the very present alcohol. A very enjoyable strong ale.

Oct 15, 2005 Cake-like yeast is prominent along with soy, brown sugar and honey in the aroma. Opaque reddish brown body is topped with a decent, fine-bubbled, tan head that recedes to ring. Herbal hops, cake-dough yeast and sharp citrus orange character with caramel malt sweetness in a somewhat muddled flavour that never comes together for me. Medium body with pointy, sharp, prickly, strong carbonation. Bottle sampled at Den Tatoverede Enke in Copenhagen.

Oct 15, 2005 Extremely persistent and creamy foam, hazel color . Black dark color, totally impenetrable, and much elegant one. Determined braced malty scent, alcohol, sugar, caramel, coffee and liqueur. Much powerful and complex. Discreetly prickly and flowery on the end. Detached and balanced bitter.

Oct 10, 2005 Transluscent dark red, almost brown with brilliant clarity and a well sustained, tan head. Sweet cream, dark fruit, toast and clover honey make up the aroma. Heavy complex sweetness that is balanced by the alcohol. Though this comes from a crown capped bottle it has a touch of cork-like character to it. Big, spicy alcohol and saturated sugar with dark, clover honey malt character.

Sep 17, 2005 Opaque brown with an off white head, malty and sugary aroma, flavor is exceptionally sweet, like someone dumped nutra sweet in the bottle, but with a bit of caramel and ripe dark fruit as well.

Sep 14, 2005 (Bottle 33 cl) Light brown with an orange glow and a thick, stable almost whipped creamish head. Lots of roasted malt in the aroma. First impression is sweetness, a massive, sticky sweetness. But as things gradually settle on my palate more subtle features are detected. Flavours of roasted- and caramel malt. Rather complex composition with notes of overripe fruit, almost vinous - like desert wine. And you even get a short bitterness at the end. A lovely beer - but still a bit too sweet. 130905
