| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Jun 29, 2004 Bottle: Poured a dark red beer with a huge head with pretty good retention. Oak really hits you when you small this beer. Taste is very refreshing with a hint of sweet cheery which is attributable to the oak. Finish is a bit dry and watery which stop this beer from being as good as the Rodenbach. Still a nice example of the style. Crockett (904), Steelback County, Ontario, Canada

Deep fruity and sweet balanced with decent carbonation and just enough bitter to soak it up. Peppery sugar. Herbal and late earth and lemon. Sweet finish. Excellent. Jeppe (2638), Ølbutikken, Denmark
