| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Dec 23, 2005 Bottle conditioned. Dark brown with rubyish hues, with very sparse, soon gone, off-white head. Aroma has dark fruit, malt, wood, chocolate with a hint of alcohol. Flavour is vinous and almost smokey, plus the aroma elements (accentuated wood taste). Soft, full, flatish, slightly oily mouthfeel; which is not completely to my liking. However, still very good.

Notes of fruit and a warming tone of alcohol. Sweet chocolaty and malty flavor with a good fruityness and notes of orange and pineapple. Some bitterness also and hints of prune and raisin.

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jul 12, 2005 A red-brown beer with a disappearing brown head. The aroma has quite strong notes of alcohol, that are not hidden by the notes of wood and prunes, that it also contains. The flavor has strong notes of prunes as well as lesser notes of raisins and wood, the end is dry from both the alcohol and the wood. It has good body and really gives You the warmth.
