| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Aug 6, 2004 33 cl bottle. Plummy thick molasses, enormous fluffy head with thick gouts of lacing. Big yeasty nose, plum pudding and chocolaty caramel, and fine honey...breathtaking. On the tongue, very sweet at first but with a fairly big peppery alcohol bite that keeps the finish fairly dry and long, long-lasting. Baked fruits, hints of coffee and bitter chocolate, and banana intertwine with the dominant plummy/molasses character to form a beautifully intense, well-balanced fancy. Perhaps just a touch too bitter to finish, but an excellent example all in all.
