| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Aug 11, 2007 Bottle at home. Reddish colour. Sweet scent. Quite malty and sugary. Didn’t like this one all too much. Really syrupy nose and taste. My bottle exired in June, two months ago, maybe that was a factor? Not too impressed. Beltramelli (471), Campinas, Brazil

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 10, 2007 Pours a huge creamy brown foam, with a very nice deep red colour. Aroma is promising, cherries, licorice, cinnamon, spices and also hoppy notes.
But then comes the deception, in mouth is very thin and watery, yes, there are cherries too, and spices, the cinnamon and licorice are present... but in a very light body, lacking of some strenght or warmer tones.
A bit of disappoiment in the end after a very promising start. omhper (12244), Stockholm, Sweden
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Mar 25, 2007 Bottled at Pressklubben, Stockholm. Clear dark ruby, rich head. Vinous raisiny nose. Sweet with lots of dextrose. Fairly light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Saccharine comes through in the finish. What the lovely aroma promise the flavour fails to deliver.
