| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Dec 26, 2009 Very dark; almost an opaque deep brown with a creamy head. Plum and raisin flavors; bit of caramel and bread; very weak spice, resin, hay and toasted nuts. All in all like a combination between a classic, typical dark Belgian beer and a very concentrated Belgian blond. I’ve had better, but this was very nice. eManu (216), Brussels, Belgium
| 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 18/20 | Sep 10, 2009 Pours a dark burgundy almost black and with a nice thick creamy head that stay long. Aroma are strong roasted malts and carramel coffee. Flavors are very rich, roasted malts, smoked coffee and carramel, some hints of chocolates. A creamy ending with a touch of spice. Very pleasant, lots of wonderfull rich flavors. A real winner, a top beer. Dorqui (1365), Brescia, Italy
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 1, 2009 Bottled 0,75L.
Creamy, voluminous and resistant head. Beautiful intense red color, much fraught, dark and with optimal fizzy aspect, rich and elegant aspect. Solid, full body and alcoholic aroma, notes of withered grape, stum and burned wood and caramel. Much vinous taste, fraught, charged and extended. Pleasant and indeed persistent content.
