| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 14, 2006 what is this stuff, not a scottich,not a brown ale, not even an "abbey" ...its like a strange mix of them all, a big disappoint with this, after having la chouffe in amsterdam, this is a bastard, a good beer yes, but not near great. some wine like qualities, in taste and smell...has a nice puddle of head, in the chimay glass it had a nice boob puddle. If I hadn’t paid $12 for the bottle i would be alittle nicer to this beer, MAYBE on tap ONE day but, if u can find it on discount do it! plovmand (1690), Helsinge, Denmark

In fact, all I can make out is: ’’great’’ and ’’some smoke’’. But I can still read the numbers at least. MrManning (1649), London, Ontario, Canada
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 23, 2008 Bottle-Pours a deep, but slightly transparent mahogany body, with a nice beige froth sitting atop, leaving nice lace. Spicy, fruity nose with molasses, brown sugar, cherries and plum, with a touch of wood. Sweet Belgian candy sugar is up front, with peppery spices, some wood smoke, cherries and prunes. Quite effervescent and refreshing given the style and ABV. High drinkability. Well crafted.
