Diminishing off-white foam over a hazy, dark brown body and with lots of sediments floating around. Nice fruity and spicy aroma.

| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 20, 2006 Updated: Dec 13, 2006250 ml bottle. Hazy medium dark brown body with a thick, fast disappearing head. Interesting aroma, malt, sugar, dry fruit and some kind of sourness. This beer has a hint of something that reminds me of an old humid basement, the same feeling I get from some of the best sour Flemish ones. Sorry to say that this only valid for the first sip. Something is not right balanced here, this beer becomes boring and too watery. I will definitively purchase another one and lay it down a few years, maybe this will do the trick? larsga (2980), Oslo, Norway
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Nov 18, 2006 Big coarse offwhite head over dark red slightly hazy and barely translucent body with intense carbonation. Sweetish vinuous spicy aroma, somewhat watery, with notes of wood, bread, and cinnamon. Taste is slightly acidic and vinuous with notes of licorice and wood. Dryish aftertaste. Watery and thin mouthfeel. (0.25l bottle.) Sigmund (2300), Hafrsfjord, Norway
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Nov 8, 2006 250 ml bottle (2006), ABV is now 6%. Available in Norway (Vinmonopolet). Deep chestnut hazy colour, huge and creamy tan head. Pleasant aroma of dried fruits, candy sugar and oak, vinous notes. Flavour is slightly less complex, moderately spicy and herbal with some oaky and vinous notes, definitely acceptable but not quite as good as top notch Belgians. Mouthfeel could have been fuller.
