Dark ruby color, good creamy, brownish head. Chocolaty, toffeeish barley nose, you can notice "vintage aroma" here - barley and sweetness have mixed togerther nicely. Medium-bodied. Sweet, smooth, caramelly with milk chocolate flavors. Ageing has rounded all the corners. Jeppe (2638), Ølbutikken, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 27, 2005 Unclear deep amber colored with a disappearing head. Aroma is sirupy and a bit sticky with notes of malt, plum, raisin and brown sugar. Flavor is rather malty with notes of caramel and plum. Mostly sweet with chocolaty hints and a bit of spices. Sparkling. A pleasant and well cellared beer (I tasted it 3 years old). Thanks a lot Alex for the trade! rickgordon (3319), Göteborg, Sweden

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Apr 27, 2005 Updated: Jun 29, 2005(Bottle 50 cl) Vintage 2001: Chestnut coloured, not much head. Very malty and sweet. Pronounced madeirazation has made this slightly flat. But lots of dried fruits like figs, dates and raisins in the flavour. 291204
Vintage 2002: I had this the same night as the 2001. A bit more carbonized and slightly bitter - perhaps because it’s a year younger. Otherwise pretty much the same flavors are predominant. 291204 DYCSoccer17 (2200), Davis, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Nov 24, 2004 Sampled with omhper, tiggmtl, MartinT, muzzlehatch, and Rastacouere in Montreal. 2001 bottle thanks to Per. Sweet, sugary caramel maltiness in the nose with hints of mint. Rather sweet smelling. Ruby/garnet color with a small quickly dissipating off-white head. Quite carbonated, mildly astringent to start. Sweet, sugary malts of caramel hit you soon. Continues sweet throughout. Rather one-dimensional and overly sweet for me.
