oh6gdx (6332), Vaasa, Finland Feb 25, 2006 Bottled. Dark ruby red colour, beige mediumsized head, lacing. Aroma is grassy hoppy along with some sweetness. Flavour is very bitter caramel, which makes a strange result. Some watery plum in aftertaste, with also smoked cigarrettes, old coffee and hay. Watery palate. Feels unbalanced.
Quinten (710), zaandam, Netherlands Oct 2, 2008 At the vonk slijterij in zaandam, dark brown, créme foamy full head, kandy, caramel, not very complex, bit boring Pyobon (170), Sydney, Australia Sep 30, 2008 Draught. Dark coppery red with beige head. Aroma of wet dog (are they cleaning the pipes / glasses properly at La Paon, Brussels?). Light body with good carbonation. Dark malt sweetness balanced with some bitterness in finish. Spices and bananas are apparent, but so is some wet dog.
