| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Oct 22, 2009 (Draught@Belge) Clear amber with a small, but firm, lacy and lasting head. Aroma of caramel and berries. Flavor is berry-fruity and neutral with a touch of yeast, well hidden alcohol, and no character. Almost medium body, lowish carbonation. Could as well be Palm Speciale, or any other generic Belgian macro brown ale. Has a quite strong berryish accent, though.

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 30, 2009 I had this in a small pub in Milan on tap. Beautiful red beer with a small white head. Aroma / flavor is sweet with caramel malts and some red and blue berries. It was quite nice for a dessert but the sweetness and alcoholiness made it quite challenging for me that night.
