3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Appearance and aroma are very nice, but as was mentioned, very carbonated, which diminishes the palate.
3.5 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
A red Brown coulered beer with a beige creamy head, not stable, a thin layer stays behind.
Aroma is very complicated: ginger, raisins, spicy, port, fruity, malt and caramel.
The basic taste (scale from 1 to 5): sweet: 2, sour: 1, bitter: 1.
The aftertaste: sweet: 2, sour: 3, bitter: 1. Dry in the finish. Enough information on the label.
This beer did me thinking of the taste of a heavy wine. A remarkable beer but not my type.

Bottle @ home. Brown colored beer, average head. For a beer brewed with so many spices it’s not bad. I don’t taste too much spices, which is probably why it gets an average rating.

Draft at Kickbacks. A hazy brown pour with an off white head. Spicy roasted malt scent. Taste is sweet, dark fruits and spices. Different
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
(bottle, 33cl) Hazy, mahogany colour with a beige medium-sized foamy head. Candy-sweet caramely malty aroma with notes of anise and cinnamon. Sweet flavour, full bodied with a calm carbonation. Quite dense toast-malty body with caramel, liquorice and ginger spice towards the sweet and slightly sticky malty finish with hints of raisins. Nice one but I am not really a fan of this. 21.VI.11

12/06/2011 33cl bottle @ home - BB: 10/2011 (2011-259)
Note:As Alvinne usually puts 5 years for this type of beer, it will have been almost 5 years old. This probably explains the bad rating, because I remember this being better, two years ago. Too bad they don’t make it anymore.
Bit cloudy red brown to purple coloured beer, lots of small chunks floating around, beige creamy head, adhesive and stable. Aroma: a bit "old", wood, cherries, orange peel, vanilla, caramel, malts. MF: light carbon, light to medium body, bit watery. Taste: pretty sour touch, fruity, some cherries. Aftertaste: more sour cherries, citrus notes, a little hoppy.

Wonderful beer. Tried it at Erasmus in Bruges on tap. Strong taste of pectoral candy. Lovely long lasting head.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Die Kräuternoten aus dem Geruch finden sich im Antrunk wieder, daneben ist das Bier wenig malzig. Im Mittelteil ist die Säuerlichkeit stärker als beide Aromen, harmoniert aber gut mit ihnen. Leider wird die Säuerlichkeit nun künstlich und erinnert an gesüßtes Kriek was das Bier insgesamt herunterzieht. Zum Ende harsch, die unpassende Süße zieht an. Schlechtes Ende eines sonst ordentlichen Bieres. 9/9/9/5/7/8
