4.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
This rating is for my first couple of bottles which were purchased in Belgium and brought back to the US by a friend. I had an imported bottle in D.C. two days ago which I would rate around 3.5. I imagine that this beer is outstanding on tap.

Cask @ JDW The Regal, Cambridge, UK. 29th May 2005
Served from cask and I haven’t tasted a better De Koninck since I went to the brewery 15 years ago. This is fantastic and realy a complete different thing that the bottled and kegged versions. It has a very creamy palate , slightly sweet and toasted. The aroma is the same but more than the "ordinary". A beer to hunt for.

This is very good stuff. Reddish amber
color - and typicall Belgian in
all respects. Firm malt base, drying
hop palate, spicy and yeasty. All very
well balanced.

Had this one in the brewery in Antwerp.
Magic beer.
Great fine head, and its colour is beautiful.

This has to be one of my favourite draughts for regular drinking. Malty with a pleasant fruity tone. Rich amber colour and an off-white head. Eminently drinkable.

An aroma so faint I accidently dipped my nose in it & still didn't smell anything, strange... It appears rich, cloudy, and smooth. A pretty gold-amber color, I wish my hair was that shade, like that gay "Amber waves of grain" song. This beverage is a lighter, less potent, joyful alternative to my favorite, more expensive & more intoxicating ales such as Maudite(all hail thee), etc. Dug it!
