4.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 10/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 19/20
A true contender for the title of Best Beer In The World--its muscular strength carrying a boatload of resonant fruity, herbal and malty flavors. Only complaint is that you can’t find it in every nightshop or 7-11.
3.9 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 17/20
Red wax 33cl bottle. Bottled on Aug 2011, poured into a tulip glass. Pours thick amber with nearly no head. Nose is hard to pin down, fruity, grapes, port, very complex. Taste is sweet! Almost like a tawny port. Not much carbonation, very syrupy. Well done, but I would imagine a few years would do this beer some good.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
.33l bottle from Only Good Beer in Budapest, from August 2011. Already huge and mellow, minimal soapy head on rich clean brown-red cider body. Huge wafts of fruit, pear and grape, and rich alcohol. some tart hops too. Huge body, coating and but also dry. fruit, wine and cider. hop balance is impressive, perhaps too bitter in the end, certainly a bit alc-forward.Big and strong, not my favorite in the end, perhaps more age on this will mellow in the right direction.
0.5 AROMA 1/10 APPEARANCE 1/5 TASTE 1/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 1/20
Hi, I bought this beer in April 2012, it was brewed & bottled in Nov 2009. I would like to keep it for 10-15 years. I’m interested if or how time will change the taste and the low carbonation that everyone is talking about.
Cheers.

3.3 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 9/20
Bottle. No head or carbonation. Light brown. Sherry like taste of raisins and ploms. Quite sweet. Heavy body. Just not my type of brew to be so complex sweetness.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle 355, batch 429. Pours dark brown, with a reddish hue, and with almost no head whatsoever. Aroma is heavily on the fruity side, with a lot of plums, oak barrels, chocolate and notes of strawberries. Flavour is likewise very fruity, with caramel malts some oakiness and a light alcoholic sweetness. A good brew, but some years up ahead it will most probably be splendid.
