Vaiz (2681) - Den Haag, - NOV 24, 2009
25cl. bottle that makes the beer look like some cheap mass production. Pours dark brown with a foamy off-white head. A bit rusty aroma with dark malts, grains and a hint of nuts. Quite surprising dry taste with licorice, stophoest, roasted malts, mint but also a bit metallic. Bitter dry long finish.

prawlie (858) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - MAR 31, 2013
25 cL bottle from Beers of Europe, huge head over a dark red beer. Malty, almost meaty aroma. Light roast malt, sweetness. Alright, but dull.

Imaena (846) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - FEB 1, 2013
Bottle. This is a real let down of a Belgian beer. One of those moments when you wish you checked RB first.

GT2 (5657) - Riverslime, California, USA - JAN 11, 2013
Tap at Iron Horse tap room. Pours. Murky, Muddy, deep ruby. Weaker tan head. Sticky, twizzlers candy nose. Some prune and brown sugar. Taste is sticky, a tad metallic, sugary, dense red sticky malt. Not so bad as the ratings presume. P

NikkTwist (880) - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA - DEC 30, 2012
Draft at Farmers Cabinet. Very dark orange pour with a wet lacey head. Finishes better than it starts. Smells like a musty red ale. Tastes of raisins, dates, prunes and dried strawberries. All with a gentle honey plum caramel finish. Aged vinous quality. Refined. Succulent. Not at all your typical American Christmas style beer.

Pours clear brown with a off-white head. Aroma has notes of malt, caramel and dried fruits. Taste is medium sweet and light bitter with a long caramel and fruity finish. Body is full, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Pours a clear and copper beer with a white head. The aroma is malt, spices, caramel and fruit. The flavor follows the nose with additional alcohol. The palate is sweetness with alcoholwarmth. Overall an average beer.
