| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Feb 26, 2005 Bottled 2002. Pale brown/red in appearance with a huge frothy tan head (maybe slightly because of an overly angry pour). Most of the aromas are yeast with some malt. Sweet maltiness with a good deal of DMS. Sticky, sweet aftertaste. willblake (2190), Belcamp, Maryland, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 25, 2005 02.17.05 2002 bottle, 11.2oz. Thickly clouded coppery brown. Lofty tan head of fine bubbles. Fruity, malty aromas, juicy fruit gum, dried peas (?!). Thick palate, sweet and creamy with a nice hop bite and some peachy syrupiness. More peas. Maybe it’s something I ate, but it’s uncanny. Good, if weird. Didn’t notice the 12% BBB63 (4271), La Porte, Indiana, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Feb 25, 2005 Bottle: Muddled brown hue with a fading head and little lace. The aroma has major components of orange zest, date, butterscotch, peat and seas salt, white pepper, clove, herbs, earthy esters and moderate phenols. The taste has a malty and candi sugar forefront with a lot of fruity undertones. The finish display a peppery bite, ginger snap, and an oaky nature. The fell is lush yet more than enough bite to keep you interested. This bottle size was just right. A nice complex beer that will warm your soul. marcus (1902), Sacramento, California, USA
| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Feb 13, 2005 Consumed at t’Brugs Beertje in Brugge. This dark brown strong ale pours with a nice foamy head. The flavor is very rich and burgundy-like, as its name would indicate. A very enjoyable brew. 11026 (1779), Alabama, USA
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 12, 2005 Bottle. Light amber and hazy. Decent white head is long lived. Sweet, with a touch of dandelion tartness. Different and quite tasty. Alcohol hidden well. Didn’t pick up any spices. Pailhead (2609), Allen Park, Michigan, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 10, 2005 Bottle: Sugary grape aroma. Hazy amber with a white head. Lots of grape with a woody finish. Light alcohol is noticeable in the finish. IPFreely (1470), Lewiston, New York, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jan 23, 2005 Very cloudy orangish brown color, medium tan head, good head retention. Plummy, some raisin, dates, malty, some light alcohol. Kind of light for the size of the beer, but very smooth, very drinkable, and the alcohol is hidden pretty well, just enough present to remind you of its strength. I liked, a bunch. heemer77 (4311), Savannah, Missouri, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jan 23, 2005 Pours wth a huge head. Dark brown body with amber colors also. The aroma is very sweet apples and nutmeg. Ginger bread is also present. The taste is a very sweet maple and caramel. This also has a woody hint of dryness. There is a definite spice of nutmeg and some ginger. Finishes fairly spicy. Plenty of carbonation.
