Bhops (170), Dallas, Texas, USA Apr 16, 2008 absolutley loved this beer. On tap at erasmus. Went perfectly with the candy glaze of the rabbit I had as a main course. Rich candied flavor, dark fruits and currents. Possibly the best food/beer pairing I have ever experienced. At the recommendation of the owner. I’m glad he convinced me to change my order.
BoBoChamp (329), Gent, Belgium Jul 22, 2008 75cl, from De Hopduvel Gent, complex, yet heavy, clear, small head, very good X-Mas brew Imaena (175), Portland, Maine, USA Jul 19, 2008 750 ml bottle with Paul July 08’. Deep brown amber pour with beige head that falls slowly. Sweet candi sugar and licorice nose. Christmas pudding and rum rasin. Tight small bubbles on the carb. Beautiful well balanced beer. Paal loved it. DocHop (178), College Park, Maryland, USA Jul 2, 2008 Pours a very dark, murky amber brown with a tall, thick beige head. Sweet, nutty, caramel, Belgian yeast aroma, like fruity bread. A little of that sweet then soured fruit pokes through in the beginning. The body is spritzy and a little cider like. An oily alcohol lingers on the finish. Overall very smooth and well balanced. Not a favorite style, but a great representative. kiefdog (326), Tampa, Florida, USA Jun 23, 2008 75cl bottle from Willow Bend Liquors (Tampa, FL). Rated on 3/20/08. Pours a chocolate brown with thin tan head. Smells very sweet with notes of maple syrup, malt, bread, yeast. Flavor is sweet with hints of roasted malt, caramel, toffee, and overtones of port wine and brandy on finish. Very good. Nnudd (7), , Denmark does not count Jun 23, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown colour. The aroma is sticky plums and port like vinuous. Some aniseed and some licquorice. A really big, welcoming aroma. The taste is big and fruity. Wery complex with a perfect balance. This is an absolutly amazing beer
