Pours dark brown with some copper highlights. Aroma reminds me of a weizenbock, wheaty, sweet, and estery. Initial flavor of dark wheat malt, brown sugar, raisens, and a hint of peat. Caramel and yeast come through the middle. The finish is dry with a medium bitterness. sunevdj (1770), Copenhagen OE, Denmark

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Oct 27, 2006 Pours a dark dark brown appearance; light tan head that quickly fades. Pleasant aroma, showing candy sugar, bready / yeasty qualities, and spice. Huge presence in the mouth: plenty of yeast and spice, a solid malt backbone (roasted malts and maple syrup), some marshmallow / vanilla. Finish shows bread, spice and some floral bitterness. This should settle down nicely with a bit of age... WISEGUY572 (1245), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 25, 2006 Nose of sweet caramel and dark malts. Almost black, minimal vanishing tan head, crystal clear, no lace. Taste is more of a stout than an Abbey Dubbel ... with strong flavors of chocolate and licorice and dried fruit and coffee and dark malts ... but the hopping is more interesting than a stout and the yeast is Belgian. Enjoyable. ThomasE (5178), Copenhagen, Denmark
