Fruity aroma with some plums and a hint of cherry cake along with some raisins. The taste is rather fruity with raisins, cherry cake and a bit of caramel featuring. Fairly nice but not overly impressive. tylerss20 (101), New Hampshire, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | May 22, 2008 I really really liked this beer. Bottle from Capitol Convenience. Pours dark red-brown, slightly cloudy and tea-like. Not much head to speak of. Beautiful bouquet of cherries, honey, floral notes, and bread. Taste is awesome, with cherry notes, caramel, candy, a bit of yeastiness, calm hop character and smooth malt complexion. So smooth, tasty, sweet, but not overdone. Complex. This is one of my new favorites. caesar (3021), Bunnik/Utrecht, Netherlands

Aroma of soft fruit, oak chips. Dry taste, slight sour, bit sweet, oak wood. Quite nice. faroeviking (6024), Republica Vikingo de las, Faroe Islands

Sweet aroma of dark fruits, caramel and some spice. Great mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with well toasted malt, dried raisins and prunes, spices, toasted malt, bitter hops and yeast. Tasty brew indeed! Brewbie (220), New York, USA

| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | May 19, 2008 750 ml. bottle. Poured into a trappist glass. Rich mahogany pour, beige head that didn’t last too long. Aroma is fruity/sweet and floral. A bit of sugar up front, raisins, plum, some citrus but not too hoppy-very nice balance. Medium body, a bit fizzy. Despite the ABV and style, I found the alcohol character to be burried. Very good beer. ChristianScheffel (4481), Odense, Denmark
