| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Oct 18, 2009 Bottle, 33 cl at Cambrinus, Brugge. Presented in a nice bottle. One served in the glass the beer is dark brown with a red shine on it with a big white head, disappearing very fast however. Hoppy smell, with some fruits and malts, not creating a refreshing smell however. Taste is yeasty, some dark fruit notes, sweet and malty. Not an unnice beer to drink, but it makes me think too much of "a heavy beer just to have a heavy beer", lacking overall in pallet. Parket (262), Bruges, Belgium
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Oct 1, 2009 bottle@cambrinus-brugge, dark reddish beer with big white and unstable head. Smell: a bit like a cheap beer (old and rotten hops) Taste: better than the smell: berries, sugar, a bit watery. Not an unpleasant beer but it has no spectacular palate. You have so many better belgian ales. joergen (8627), Frederiksberg, Denmark
