Bendrixian (1515) - Canadiana, Ontario, CANADA - MAY 28, 2012Found an old tasting note:
big aroma, super malted and a hint of fruit. some corn mash note, and a slight roasted almond note. It has a real fruity taste like port and blueberries or prunes but it has a nice bittering component to it. Tasty brew.

Aroma’s: sweet juicy berries, brown sugar, chocolate, some roast. Flavor is medium sweet, lightly bitter & roasted. Medium body. Finishes with more roast and medium bitter.

Martinus (5018) - Baarle-Nassau, NETHERLANDS - MAY 9, 2012Dark red, brownish colour, off-white dissipating head. Aroma of soap, somewhat fruity, quite dusty, dish cloths that have been lying around for too long. Malty, fruity flavour, caramel with a nice hops bitterness. Bitter hops finish, caramel, bitter roasted malts.
Quite lovely, aside from the aroma, which is rather off-putting.
