| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Nov 14, 2004 (Bottled) Clear, dark, very deep red color with a medium, tight and tanned head. Slightly sour, fruity aroma with a hint of sugary sweetness. Sweetish, toffee-malty flavor with some fruit. Sugary, slightly sticky finish. Hides the ABV well. Smooth, low-carbonated, medium to full-bodied, warming, slightly liquourish, but not alcoholic palate. A straightforward, sweetish, but quite an enjoyable, easily drinkable and warming brew.

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 24, 2009 Draft in Diest at a corner brown café, which was non-smoking if you can believe it. Yet it was still very brown. So was the ale, with a reddish tint and lacy tan head. Nose was malty and fruity, with red fruits like berries, maybe faint passion fruit. Bit like a Scotch ale aroma. Mildly sweet flavor, very light bitterness, with solid caramel malt character showing through. A touch warming. Pretty drinkable. One of the better Haacht beers I’ve had. Also the mood and time and place were right. Stefano (1389), Esbjerg, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 2, 2008 Draught: Poured a dark brown with little to no white head. The aroma was sugary and sweet. The taste is a mix between fruit and roasted malts, the finish was sum what sugary. Very pleasing beer with my stake in Belgium. Pyobon (292), Sydney, Australia
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Coppery brown with no head. Little aroma with a hint of wet dog. Medium body with plenty of carbonation. Sweet dark malt with some spice and bitterness in finish. It’s good but doesn’t really impress; perhaps my palate is jaded.
