4.2 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Light, clear chestnut color. Absolutely amazing aroma: I almost got lost in it. Flavor is somewhat dusty with a sweet edge. Very nice and very powerful.

Wow, this beer has it all in this 275 ml bottle. A complex taste. Nice clear amber colour and a medium mostly lasting head. Aroma of fruits and spices and malt. A slightly alcoholic finish, but still sweet.

Really nice dark amber colour, very low head though. Round and ruby.Almost no alcoholic aroma, nice malty and hoppy. Some sweetness in flavour and finish. Rather bitter in the aftertaste. Very good!

(Bottle 27,5 cl) Clear, very dark amber with a small, crude head. Vinous, sherry-like and strongly alcoholic nose. Sweetish and malty with very complex and refined notes of overripe fruit. Very warming alcohol - a true winter warmer. 111105

I do not know why, but somehow I were convinced that I would not like this one - don’t ask me why... BUT I had to swallow my prejudice - that’s for sure. It’s a mahogany red beer with a small head. The aroma has nice notes of fruit, roasted malt and a bit of alcohol in a vinous way. The flavour is wonderful with sweetness, roasted malt, caramel, ripe fruits and a bit of alcohol. It’s a nicely balanced BW, that I wouldn’t mind buying again.
