| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 27, 2009 750 bottle. Deep burgundy color with thick long-lasting tan head and lace. Malty sweet aroma of bread pudding, raisins, dates, prunes, nuts, bread, and dark sugars. Nice smooth carbonation and excellent palate. Delightfully full of bread pudding character and ending with a definitive smash of toffee. Totally enjoyable and pairs really well with foods. Storm (2685), Amager, Denmark
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 2, 2006 75 cl bottle. Dark ruby colour with a big head. Malty aroma with tones of hops, alcohol, chocolate and some spice. Nice flavour of yeast, spice and sweet maltness. Remind me of a Belgium beer, but I think it is missing something. michael-pollack (2679), King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 1/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jan 27, 2007 12oz. Bottle: Aroma of yeast, fruit, and blue cheese. Poured brown with a hint of orange. I guess you can all it burgundy. Big foamy head. Very good lacing. Opaque. Sparkling. Flavor is complex. Hard to discern different tastes. Medium sweet and lightly bitter. Malty! Kind of is what it is. Medium to full body. Lively carbonation. Dry finish. Overall, I don’t like Belgian Ales, so take my rating with a grain of salt, but it is drinkable. notalush (2660), Denver, Colorado, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 13, 2003 Deep red to ruby color, but lacking much of a head. This has a very raisin and brown sugar aroma and a malty, fruity, spicy (even peppery) taste to it. Plums and grapes make their presense known as well. Crisp, tart, slightly dry finish. A very pleasant belgian ale. nick76 (2657), Tampa, Florida, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 10, 2006 The aroma has caramel, honey, plums, figs, raisins, malt, and some yeast. The appearance is a dark red brown with a huge head. The flavor has the above listed elements with cherry and licorice. The aftertaste is sweet and fruity. The palate is just about right. This is quality stuff. Gusler (2655), Tucson, Arizona, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 18, 2002 Re-Rate 10/18/02: The pour an opaque dark cherry red, the head adequate, but dissipates quickly, leaving skimpy lace. ’Ah! That nose’, malt, bubble gummy, sweet, plummish, quite delectable. Front is sweet, malt laden, the top is moderate, the finish parched, alcohol bitter, masterfully hopped, intensely acidic, but a most drinkable beer that deserves a sample. Ranks #224 on my current 1000 beer master list. Aurelius (2648), Tallahassee, Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jan 11, 2002 One of the finest glasses of American beer that I’ve ever had. Bronze ale with a ruddy foam head. Inviting malty, peppery aroma. Malted ale flavor with tart plum/peach/cherry fruit middle and pepper-alcohol finish. Palate was very good, but missed the 5 rating slightly. Jeppe (2638), Ølbutikken, Denmark
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Aug 29, 2004 Pours a sky high foamy light brown head on a deep amber colored body with a fine orange gleam. Very heavy and penetrating sweet aroma of fruit, raisins, plum, apricot and oranges. Spices and cake tones also. Very nice, it really draws out the mouth water. Flavor is also heavy sweet fruity and citrusy with a bitter/harsh end and some alcohol present. Nut, toffee and spices notes. An extreme beer, very interesting, but too harsh in the end.
