3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20As Grand Cru of the Emperor. Fruity toffee, light vinegar, grapes. Amber brown clear with thin head. Thin body with light-medium carbonation. Sour ale faro combination, pretty sweet with tangy fruit notes. Light vinegar acidity. Fruity wine, alcohol after. Maybe the lines were bad, but I thought it was a Flemish sour ale.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Cloudy brown. Has all the characteristics of a quad except good head. The aroma is basement, dark fruit and bitter hops. The taste is ripe plum, ginger, dark sugar and yeast. The body is both fizzy then flat one after the other. The alcohol is well hidden and the beer finishes with a kick of bitterness.

Been wanting to try this for a while. Wonderful aroma of figs and sweet fruits. Taste is a rich caramel, a little nutty. This is a great beer - sorry I waited so long for my first but will not wait long for my second!

Cerveja excepcional, complexa, encorpada, notas de caramelo, castanha e ameixa, álcool bem presente com agradável sensação de calor do palato e retrogosto com sensação de quero mais. Certamente uma das grandes cervejas que já tomei, também porque foi degustada no aniversário de minha mamãe. Inesquecível !

Poured in May 2013 from a 750 ml bottle dated 2011 and cellared since March 2011. Virtually opaque, dark-orange rusty brown with a 2-finger creamy khaki head and that lingers and eventually leaves excellent lacing. Aroma of raisins, dark fruit, figs, prunes, cherries, sweet roasted malt, toffee and English trifle. Taste of raisins, brown sugar, prunes, cherries, sweet roasted malt, toffee, chocolate, Russian black cherry loaf and sweet sherry. Sweet, but stunningly delicious. A fabulous dessert by its own right. Full/medium body and medium carbonation. The aging has removed all bitterness, leaving a sweet, fruity, complex and utterly delicious dessert beer. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone
