| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 5, 2006 Bottle on the eve of the 060606 release: Dark red pour with a medium light tan head that faded quickly. Aroma has dark fruits, some spices. Flavor, more dark fruits, some roasted notes, a touch of chocolate. Nice full mouthfeel, a little warming from the alcohol. This is doing pretty well right now, but I don’t know if it’s got another six and a half years left in it. mjg74 (2000), La Mesa, California, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 21, 2005 Pours a dark ruby color. Aroma contains yeast, grains, apples, and a little bit of alcohol. Some roasty and grainy flavor. A bit of alcohol is present. A bit of maltiness as well. I would say that this is fairly tasty. sebletitje (1999), Tampa, Florida, USA

Pours amber with beige head.
Aroma is malty and grainy.
Taste has plenty of nice chocolate malts and some hints of dark fruits.
It aged quite well, loaded with nice flavors and a light hoppy finish. AmEricanbrew (1982), Almost, Texas, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Sep 13, 2008 Bottle from the cellar enjoyed on 09.09.08 mbd. Mahogany pour with a tight tan head. Strong aroma rising from the glass is lightly oxidized with chocolate toffee and pecans. Medium body. Rich, hearty flavors mirror aroma; again cocoa, toffee sweetness with roasty nutty pecan flavors. Has a mild burnt malt bitterness to finish. Seems the oxidation in this bottle added another ( nice ) layer of depth here. Enjoyed this much more this time than when fresh back in 2005. Wish i had more of these. Most worthy beerbill (1977), Laurel, New York, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Nov 15, 2005 Bottle. Pours a deep mahogany with a thick, creamy tan head. Lots of plums and spices in the aroma. The flavor does not disappoint. Plums and bananas combined with cloves and caramel. The alcohol is definitely present but not overpowering. Really terrific, I just wish I bought more than one last June. MIBRomeo (1966), Wisconsin, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Aug 15, 2005 pours a deep color w/ a well laced tan head. Big hop aroma some malt and spices i couldn’t identify. Palate was smooth and well carbonated but didn’t feel full. Flavor is a sweet malt and an odd hop.. hints of oak and spice along w/ the belgian yeast. A pretty good brew.

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | May 23, 2005 poured into my trippel karmelot glass-pours aa beautiful brunette amber hue with a sudsy highly fizzy tan head. spicy, estery, leathery aroma with notes of nutts, plums, spicy hops, sliglty fussel alcohol nose tickle. flavors are sugary, spicy, hoppy (earthy and spicy)-astringent spice note on the finish as it was cold, but mellowed after a while. some roasty/nutty tones come out in the finish that were very pleasant. This beer is pretty good now, but i think this has awesome aging potential!
