Jan 1, 2006 Brown ale with an red hue. Khaki head. Complex and spicy yeast aroma, almost like a blonde, with rye? Sweet maltiness, toffee, nutty, not very bitter. Rather soft, medium body. Original and interesting, maybe lacking the punch you would expect from a beer of this strength.

Nov 12, 2004 Brown ale, off white head with some laces. Sweet aroma with schwartzbroot and muscovado sugar. Hard carbonation. Very sweet flavour with more muscovado sugar and a touch of hops in the finish. Faintly metallic. Roasted malts and a touch of smoke. Overall very nice sweet brown ale.

Feb 27, 2003 Dark chestnut colour, slight haze; brownish head, stable. Something buttery in the nose (no diacetyl), dark bread (Maillard?), candi sugar, some hops and ? parsley - butter and parsley, it reminds me of Burgundy snailsauce! Bitter taste of roasted, even burnt malts; there is a malty-sweeter base that the bitterness is capping. There might be hops - but the balance is turned too much to the roasted bitterness. Mouthfeel is quite full-bodied, carbonation is very apparent. The malt sweetness, under the main taste, becomes obvious after a long time, but the burnt flavours keep lingering. I cannot like this overtipped roasted flavour. There is an uneasy near-balance which doesn't satisfy.
