| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 2/5 | 9/10 | 3/5 | 19/20 | Aug 3, 2009 Bottle, thanks to one of the few from Natifest ’09. Pours a rich, hazy brown color with a very small head. Aroma is prunes and sweet malts. Notes of other dark fruit, apricots, molasses, port wine, and brown sugar come out. On the palate, a nice alcohol burn comes out. The flavor brings out the port flavor and also brings out a slight apple or pear flavor. Very interesting beer. Something I could not drink everyday, but stilll very, very good. Bejaaamin (115), London, Ontario, Canada
