[Vintage 98, sampled February 2004] An unclear orange brown beer with a fine head. The aroma is sweet with notes of corriander, hops, fruit, and plums. The flavor is sweet with notes of spices and corriander. The end is dry and hoppy with notes of corriander. A very nice beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr. Hazy, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Lightly tart, fruity nose. Medium body with lightly sweet caramel, sourish notes and a fusty edge. Very subdued bitterness. Great to finally get the chance to try this, but unfortunately the beer is way over the top. 120108

33 cL bottle, from trade with ygtbsm94. Pours hazy brown/orange with a dense white head. Small yeast sediment floating around. Aroma is dried fruity, slight rounded aroma. Flavour is smooth fruity, dried and cellared. Solid acidic to bitter finish with a lingering fruity note. Nice brew even after 10 years.

[1997 vintage Bottle @ Papsoe - thanks yespr for sharing] Hazy amber with medium head. Sweet aroma with fruits and discrete madeira notes. Complex flavor with moist cellar, madeira, port and overripe fruits.

My # 3400th rating. Shit. Thanks Rene for trading this. 1998 vintage. Pours clear amber with a small creamy white head. Nose is deep. Vinous, matured, dusty, oxidized, yeasty. But it also has a very fruity touch to it. Sherry, vinous and fruity. No doubt it is past its prime but its also obvious that this once was a world class beer. Just grateful for trying this. Thanks.

33cl bottle at Erasmus. Deep orange/gold with some haze, thin lasting beige head. Got a bit of must on the aroma. A bit of dust, but the lasting marmalade is lovely. Just a bit musty for me.

Pours clear coppery golden with a small, frothy, off-white film head. It disappears rather quickly, though. Aroma has cellar, red apples, port, wood. Still maintains a fairly high carbonation, but the mouthfeel remains a bit below my expectations. Flavour is great, though. Some port, wood, maltiness, caramel, toffee mix with a whiff of smoke, some graininess and just a faint hint of something tart. Impressive.

Dark golden with a small off-white head. Vineous aroma with spice and licorice. Somewhat oxidized. Sweet and vineous flavour with spicy and fruity notes, and the classic Dolle tartness
