Oct 21, 2006 Medium beige head shrinks quickly. Body is black, almost opaque, lighter at edges. Bready, yeasty, licorice and chocolate aroma with milky notes, and faint alcohol. Taste is chocolatey licorice with yeast notes and alcohol heat. Lots of carbonation in the mouth initially. Sweet. Slightly watery. Dry licorice aftertaste. Good but not as good as the "regular" Barbar. (0.33l bottle.)

Oct 11, 2006 Dark brown body with a short lived off-white head. Very malty body with toffee and cake flavours. Lots of honey-ish sweetness. Some crunchy peppery spices flavours too. Pretty rough and unsophisticated beer but very effective. Barbar-ian.

Sep 7, 2006 Dark brown coloured with some light carbonation and a large, yet diminshing head. Sweet alcoholic yeasty notes in the aroma, with some more clear honey touches. Full creamy palate, smouth and sweet body. Finish is bitter, roasted malts, and at the end a honey touch with some alcoholic notes. Not as good as I expected, could be more balanced.

Aug 5, 2006 Another Barbar beer ordered by the Mrs. I think that she subconsciously correlated the beer with the elephant. This bock is just a little too watery. Otherwise, it has a hint of sweetness that combines well with a relatively smoky taste and aroma.

May 13, 2006 Pours like a coke. Smells a little bit like one too, although yeasty as well. Flavour is fruity with some spice and malt and a lingering caramel finish. Like a few belgians, it’s over carbed, which is a shame. Nevertheless, a nice beer.

May 6, 2006 Deep burgundy in color with a huge stable head. Floral, plum, malt and yeast aromas. Dark fruit and caramel flavors with an earthy finish. Nicely balanced beer.

Apr 7, 2006 Updated: Sep 27, 2009Bottled. Whoa, crazy carbonation. This pours really noisy. There are yeast deposits in there as well. A dark brown with a purple hue but suprisingly no head. The aroma is plummy rich fruits with some sugary sweetness. The taste is jammy and fruity also. NIce sweetness and a reasonable body. Tasty.Score 3.4
Subsequent rating scored 3.7. Average becomes 3.5
