3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
33 cl bottle, bottled in April 2005. Dark chocolate colour with a chestnut shine, frothy, rich , beige head, which loses its big bubbles quickly, large yeast sediment particles. Sweet nose of perfumed chocolate, caramel and hints of strawberries, cinnamon and nuts. Rich, malty, juicy and somewhat earthy taste with alcohol, hard candies, a touch of pepper and an unassertive but long, hard and dry bitter aftertaste, mixed with cherry liqueur flavour. Chewy and mellifluous palate.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very high head, dirty yellow-brown; dark brown beer with beautiful Burgundy sparks. Sweet drop nose (liquorice), aniseed and fennel. Fuselalcohols, swirming around the spices; aniseed and liquorice for sure, very sweet! Long spicey, lasting taste. very well-bodied, very viscous, nearly buttery-meaty. Not my kind of beer, really. And I don’t like it when I can pick out and name the spices unerringly.
