| 2.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Apr 20, 2005 (on 33cl bottle) Looksgreat; hazy light brown and has perfect carbonation. But there´s something really odd about both sent and taste. It is authentic belgic in the esters, but a strange aroma of wet cardboard really makes it unplesant. The also suffers from it, like really old dust; not hops anyway. Great concept anyhow. presario (2956), Calgary, Alberta, Canada
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Apr 10, 2005 Big light head. Golden honey copper colour. Baking soda aroma. Very light body. Light airy flavour with with dry finish. Good accompaniment but on its own the flavour is rather muted. SoLan (1411), Orlando, Florida, USA
| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Apr 4, 2005 Brown. Big creamy off white head. Dried fruit, sweet malt, and musk. Smell that cave action. Same in the taste though less dried dark fruits and some nuttiness. Smooth, full body. I wasn’t expecting to smell or taste the cave. Description of "unique" is spot on. Very good brew. maeib (4707), Wootton, Northampton, Northamptonshire, England
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 27, 2005 Bottled. A dark nut brown coloured beer with a long lasting cream coloured head. The aroma has raisins, caramel and candy sugar. The taste has more of the same together with some nuttiness and maybe a little dark spice. A very good beer from a very good brewery. papajohn (1054), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA
