Cellared two years. Orange amber beer with good beige head. Aroma with bitteralmonds, apples, spices and syrup. Smooth flavor with graphite and licorice tones. A bit tanninous. Chemical tone with little bitterness. Growing, cookiedough and cardboard. Quite excellent beer actually. Too bad the vintage dated bottles is no more.

Indeed full bodied. Very malty and rich in the flavor. There is fruit and hops in a successful balance. More than a thirst killer, this is to be enjoyed on its own while solving the great riddles of life.

Its not too bad. perhaps a bit sticky and sweet as mentione by pilsnerrogge. Malty and then hoppy, kind of bittersweet taste, also noticed hints of vanilla in there, has a unique character i think, but not quite to my style.

Red-brown. Somewhat dry, nutty, well balanced and very complex. One of my very favourite ales.

Sweet and malty, with fruitiness. Dry with a lot off aftertaste. Beatiful brownish colour.

Slightly maltier than the Ruby, with notes of wood, caramel and smoke. The increased maltiness is balanced off by the woody dryness, which makes for a beer which is both bigger and easier to enjoy.
