Brouhaha (5), Longueuil, Canada does not count | 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 10/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Mar 7, 2007 Drank 750 ml bottle, 10 celcius, aged 1 1/2 year imported from US. Strange musroom like aroma, almost thought it was corked! Dark amber opalescent pour with extremely rich yellow foam head. Very complex malty flavour with notes of dates, dark cherries and partly refined dark sugar. Exceptional maltiness. Full thick palate with lively fizz and long finish. Buy it and forget it in a closet for a year, it’s well worth it! matt7215 (996), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada

| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 19/20 | Sep 12, 2009 750ml bottle. Raisin and something slightly sour in the aroma besides malty sugar. Flavor is round caramel and candy. Lingering finish is exquisite. So much flavor is contained in each mouthfull it’s hard to figure it all out, it makes each sip more interesting then the last. Hop character isn’t apparent, it’s just enough to balance all the amazing sugar and malt flavors. Yay beer! rmussman (906), California, USA
