| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 2/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Sep 10, 2002 [13% version] Golden colour, poor head. Sweet aroma, honeyish, a little malty, alcohol, bitter oranges. Pretty sweet, strong body, too much alcohol; just balanced by some bitterness. Not the worst of the strong lagers, but far from being a good beer (well, actually it’s a top fermentation one, but it doesn’t look like). argo0 (7047), Washington DC, USA
| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | May 6, 2004 (Best by 3/28/05) Clear amber body with medium, off-white head. Aroma is sweet, alcohol, grainy, banana. Taste is very sweet, grape, banana, finishing treacly alcohol. Full body. Definitely a sipping beer, and despite my initial reservations, my palate adjusted to the sweetness and I even came to somewhat enjoy it. Still, if a beer has to be high alcohol, I prefer it to not taste so high in alcohol. harrisoni (6947), Ashford, Kent, England

Copper colour with very thin white head. quite a good aroma with some whisky and candied orange peel. Not overly sweet as I had feared it would be. Some tang on the finish and some drying alcohol burn. Really pretty good Maria (6345), Thisted, Denmark

The aroma has sweetness, notes of malt and alcohol. The flavour is SWEET with notes of alcohol, malt and yeast. It’s not very inspiring and the sweetness and alcohol is too much for me. faroeviking (6128), BjórtjóðveldiðBjórheimBjórsins, Faroe Islands

| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 2/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 11/20 | Jul 9, 2002 No head. Malt and raisin in the aroma. Thick. Sweet, raisinny very alcoholic taste with some orange. The flavor isn’t bad, but you only tatse alcohol and fruit. In fact this is too rich to be drunk as a beer. thewolf (5842), Kolding, Denmark
