Bov (4780), Bienne, Switzerland Feb 1, 2005 dark brown colour with a big foamy head, aroma of gingerbread and hazelnut with some chocolatey notes, the body is medium at best, very creamy mouthfeel, low bitterness, long and dry coffeish and bready finish - very good beer !
gmonroe10 (128), Netherlands Dec 22, 2008 Pours a dark brown, well carbonated beige head. Nose is a bit sweet, but certainly spiced- anise. Flavor is extremely smooth- sweet malts and well carbonated (not overly so like the blond). Also smooth finish- moderate bitterness, but more immediate sweetness. Enjoyable. DuffMan (2194), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Dec 14, 2008 Deep brown pour that is slightly hazy. Sweet aroma of prunes and quince. Stewed fruits dominate the palate as well. Some light spice and wood. Rather thin mouthfeel to me. Darkover (1239), Columbus, Ohio, USA Dec 3, 2008 Dark amber color with a big tan head. Aroma of sour dark fruits and some spice. Flavor of dark fruits, some sourness, and a little chocolate. daniele (992), Italy Nov 26, 2008 scura schiuma media abbastanza persitente note fruttate in bocca maldo dolciastero le tostature sono poche l’amaro non è in rilievo gli estrei ciu sono ma non moto di più travita (908), Lewisville, Texas, USA Oct 31, 2008 Smell is grapes, alcohol, apple, fruits, very fruity. The look is clear red to amber in color. Sweetness and again lots of fruit in the taste. Tastes decent. Also some caramel.
