Notas de café e torrefação. Final levemente amargo e seco, mas bem suave. Presença de sedimentos. Medianamente encorpada. Poderia ser mais... Álcool que se nota de leve.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Nov 4, 2007 Updated: May 13, 200933cl bottle bought in Limburg (few kms from the abbey).
Deep red ruby-black color beer with a thick creamy head.
The aroma is very promising. Liquorice, chocolate and burnt coffee dominates with hints of citrus, toffee and strawberries.
Salty, bitter, sour flavor.
The palate is like the aroma but more subtle. In the beginning it feels a bit on the strong side but before you know it its gone and you’re left with a balanced dry fruity liquorice palate.
Great beer! Dedollewaitor (3754), Odense, Denmark
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 29, 2007 33 cl. Dark brown with a good creamy white head. Sweet nuts, caramel & yeast in the aroma. Texture/body is super smooth & filling. Very nice lacings. Taste & aroma could be a bit rougher but still a nice double! ChazMania (414), Pasadena, California, USA
| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 5/5 | 16/20 | Oct 25, 2007 I had this on tap a few months ago, it was utterly fantastic. This rating is on the bottle that I had last night. Good, but not as great as tap. Pours very dense with a small brown head. Aroma is on the fig/malt/molasses side. The flavor is much as the aroma, nearly a liquid fig newton. Texture is where this was great, very thick, complex and a long lasting finish. Very good and very drinkable. yespr (12345), Copenhagen O, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Oct 20, 2007 33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a dense and light brown head. Aroma is sweet, malty and yeasty spiced. Flavour starts sweet malty with a textured mouthfeel. A warming alcohol flavour and slight spiced note appears before the finish. Nice warming finish.
