| 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Mar 24, 2007 Brown cola colored beer with small beige head. Wonderful aroma of port and fruit with a touch of allspice. Rich, mouth filling flavors, the port again, oak barrel, tannins, honey, wildflower hops. Nice feel and good bitter finish. Quite a nice find! Definitely one I will seek out again! Strykzone (1474), Wood River, Illinois, USA

The aroma is malty and dark fruit. Mouth feel is smooth as silk and feels great. Flavor is complex featuring malt, alcohol, wood, dark fruit, bitterness, caramel and some sherry. What a nice beer! theisti (1661), Leawood, Kansas, USA

Pour is clear amber with some garnet with a decent light tan head. Aroma was faint, but some malt to it. Taste is sweet malt, some plum fruit taste and really nice bitterness in the finish. As this warms, the aroma opens up a bit. Overall a very nice beer. taunusmies (277), Finland

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 16, 2007 Updated: Mar 17, 2007500 ml bottle - pours a rich mahogany with red highlights. Aroma of vanilla, very sweet malt, some light English hopping, plums and toffee. Flavour is a little bit of a letdown after this very nice aroma - more muted, with a strange bitterness and an almost astringent quality. Fairly thin in the mouth and a very short finish. Good, certainly, but a touch overrated, perhaps. Brix (372), Denmark
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Mar 14, 2007 Tasted 2007-03-10. Fresh bottle, 50cl. Dark red-brown colour with fast disappearing head. Nice, sweet aroma. Honey? Taste is wonderfull!! Nothing like any beer I’ve tasted before. Initially very sweet, but then bitter in the aftertaste. Very interesting. Fruity and spicy. I like it! kimcgolf (832), Dacula, Georgia, USA

Aroma was a little faint, but what was there was a pleasant malty dark fruit, mostly grapes and cherries. Flavor was more of the dark fruit, and mouthfeel was carbonated and a bit tangy. As the beer warmed, the alcohol became a little more noticeable in both the aroma and flavor, which all led to a smooth, warming finish.
