| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Aug 19, 2009 Bottle (330ml). Shared with blankboy and garthicus, via trade with Glouglouburp. 2003 Vintage. Cloudy reddish, smallish creamy white head. Dry, light aroma, caramel malt, dry spice, slightly floral .... sweet. Taste has flattened out some, a little bit papery, but still a subtle caramel and light spice flavour, restrained alcohol and a floral finish. Light body, not much carbonation left (it didn’t pop or "gish" at all on opening), a quick finish to the malt and a slight tartness on the tongue as an aftertaste. Just okay, probably much better fresher. Thanks for sharing the retired beer, Dany! Madsnp (628), Odense C, Denmark
