| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 28, 2004 Bottle. Oldschool flavour. Has that Orvalish cosmetic, yeasty, farmyardy, dry orange peel type flavour, but is couple with with some toffee apple and caramel/chocolate. Dry, salty finish, medium bitter, but finishes quite dry. Funky and fun, reminded me of one of eczematics homebrews. RobBestwick (555), Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England

Pineapple aroma, perhaps some fruit salad flavour Chewits too - yummy! Ruby brown colour, with a massive fluffy head. Surprisingly light and fragrant, dewey in the mouth. Some strength in the finish. A unity of flavour - rose/grape with heavy malt and cognac tang. Quietly menacing, tasty and satisfying. Well worth checking out again. mrkimchee (1414), Toronto, Ontario, Canada
