| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 27, 2004 (Bottled) Clear, red-brown color with quite small head. Mild, caramely, fruity and raisiny aroma. Sweet rye-pudding flavor with a mild licorice finish. Medium-bodied, sugary, oily and quite carbonated palate. A decent, but light and sugary imitation of a Belgian dubbel. And why filter it??? SpringsLicker (2043), Tennessee, USA
