The score was calculated based upon the notes and an old scoring system.

[Vintage 2001, Sampled 2005] An unclear amber beer with a disappearing orange head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of over ripe fruits as well as some yeast. The flavor contains notes of prunes, and over ripe fruits, and with a dry slightly roasted end. The mouthfeel is very carbonated.

Original Rating (to be re-entered):
Rerate (5-1-5-2-11=2.4): Caramel, sherry and orange liqueur-like aromas. Opaque brown-copper with low, fizzy, off-white, fully-diminishing head. Yeasty, madeirized sherry flavours with orange and herbal notes. Very dry, medium-light body with low carbonation. Not suited for aging, I suppose. Bottle sampled with Oakes, Rastacouere, St-Eric and Ungstrup.

Viellie 2 ans en bouteille.J’ai eux l’occasion de gouter a cette biere. Au nez elle a des aromes qui resemble beaucoup au braley wine.Malte sucre cramel. Apres 2 ans elle a une leger gout acre mais on peut quand meme goute le sucre et le malt. Jeune elle devais etre une excelente biere.

(Bottle) Pours a amber body with a thick lasting white head. Aromas of fruit, spice and slight cherry. Nice Belgian flavours with strong spices and finishes somewhat tart. Good complexity.

Strong belgian ale with aromas of fruit. Nice full moutfeel. Good full round flavor of hops. Nice beer.

Golden, long-lasting head. Aroma of spices, yeast, maybe berries also. A thick sometimes tart, sometimes acid fruity beer.

Not one of thir best. Thick for a belgian styled beer. Fairly spicy and heavy on the "dirty" cheval blanc yeast.
