| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Aug 20, 2009 Bottled 33cl. Hazy ruby with a nicely lasting lacing light beige head. The nose is really impressive- reminiscent of Orval. Candied fruits, hops and blackberries throughout. Maltier than Orval. Strong carbonation. Complex. I reveled in every sip. A fantastic beer!

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 7, 2009 Bottle. Pours reddish brown with a fruity nose that has a hint of spirit. There are flavours of apples, cinnamon and dates and the mouth is quite dry. A pretty good beer but there is a slight sourness to it which I don’t find as endearing as a lot of other beers in this style. daniele (1676), Italy
