| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 28, 2007 Bottle 33 cl at Locus Publicus, Delft. Poured a very dark amber with a medium and fading off-white head and a sweet, malty aroma with hints of ripe fruit and brown sugar. I had this beer right after the Westvleteren 12 and compared to that the taste isn’t that rich and complex. Flavor is malty, but not that overly sweet, with hints of ripe fruits, toffee, peanuts and hops. A longlasting hoppy finish sums up for this great beer. weaselkenievil (738), Cheshire, England

Bottle from Wyn to my brother and on to me. Very good. Great beer, thanks again to our Chopsy. pubbe (493), Højbjerg, Denmark
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 26, 2007 Bottle. Cloudy dark amber colour with an orange hue. Pretty thick light brown head. Malt and dark berries in the aroma. Rather sweet malt in the flavor which is balanced by hops and fruits. Lasting bitter/sweet finish. Extremely well balanced beer. tytoanderso (1387), St. Louis Park, Minnesota, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Dec 24, 2007 33cl bottle from ygtbsm94. Beautiful and complex aroma. Light chocolate, hazelnut, mild fruity esters, raisins and dates, crushed cabernet grapes, almonds and plenty of dry and spicy yeast. Pours deep, full brown with dark ruby highlights. A firm and creamy off white head sits atop. Toasted nuts, dough, chocolate, dry red wine, dark berries, some earthy hops on the tongue. Very dry, but not offensive. Rich, creamy with lively carbonation. The dry, yeasty finish lasts forever. Can’t wait to see how this develops in a few years. Thanks a ton Brad!
