exquicorp (7), USA does not count | 4.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 19/20 | Sep 18, 2008 Nice deep colour, very rich and powerful nose with deep plums and dates dominating...a heavy malt dosage.
Taste is very malty and dark fruit with moderate carbonation.
This really is one of my favorites ESPECIALLY at the price point. It’s a heck of a value.
This is NOT a session beer. puggy211 (582), cordova, Tennessee, USA

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Sep 11, 2008 750 ml. bottle. Pours an overly exhuberant head which deflates into nice tight tannish head, wonderful dark brown, red toned color, good lacing....nose very complex, with fruits, cherry and plum dominating, some malts, bit of bread....tastes initially of fruit, again plum and cherry, then sweet malt, finally hops come in with a moderate bitterness....reasonably heavy mouth feel, but ,again,rather highly carbonated. Not nearly heavy as a good port. gerardoluna (195), Mexico

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 9, 2008 A bit too much carbonation than I would prefer for this type of beer, starts with sweet taste of fruits and finishes with a bitter balance of chocolate and clove - an enjoyable drink for one glass after dinner...too rich for anything more than one Ryoma (1), Santiago, Chile does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Sep 9, 2008 Pours very dark, With a full white head,

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 6, 2008 Pours like a Coke from the bottle, dark amber with an obnoxious tan fizzy head of foam. Smells of anise and malts with additional notes of caramel and milk cocoa in the flavor. Frothy mouthfeel, but definitely improves as it warms.
