Bottle, from the GBBF Collectable Stand (Unknown Vintage): Deep ruby brown with a short, lasting beige head. Raisins in the nose, with a slight aciditic there too. Big prune flavoute. Very smooth body. Loads of port-wine like flavours and old fruit. Really suprising and pleasant beer.

Regal ruby red brown with medium small mid-tan head. Malt sweet, cooked pasta, and lighter coffee, dried fruit and yeast aroma. Predominantly malty sweet (too sweet for me) flavours. Weak bitter finish and flat cola sweet after taste. I got no juniper at any stage with this one. It reminds me of stronger and more aromatic malternative.

Great aroma, rich and malty and extremely drinkable brown belgian ale. Head retention is low. Balance is on the malt's side. Otherwise it is a great smelling, simple little belgian ale.

Arguably the weirdest beer I’ve ever drank--I did not like the harsh juniper and herbal undertones of this beer at all. I will say this--I had it a number of years ago and it is well and truly unforgettable!

Amberish beer with nice off white foam. Soft aromas of caramel, malts, fruits?, spices and herbs. Taste is round and well balanced. It ends with some hops.
