DerWeg (748), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 29, 2006 Wow, I disliked this last year but this is lovely. Big rich tones of different malts mingled in perfect balance with delicate, rounded hops. Caramel sugariness, cocoa, bitter notes, character for miles. This kills some Trappist Dubbels. stouby (1932), Holbaek, Denmark Dec 28, 2006 Bottle at home.

It has a full malted falvor that leaves a full flavor on the palate. Nejhleader (924), Lemoyne, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 15, 2006 this is a pretty nice brew. Has a fairly strong chocolaty roasted malt taste. Has a cream texture and was overall pleasing. hammerbeck (101), Kentucky, USA Dec 9, 2006 I didn’t much care for it, though it wasn’t bad. Good color and head retention, but the flavor was too bitter for my tastes.
