davidpl (385), Santiago, Chile Jul 4, 2008 Updated: Jul 5, 2008Appearance: reddish brown color. Medium head, beige color, consistent, lasting and with good adherence to glass.
Aroma: intensive caramel malty aromas, as well, yeasty touches with cookies and banana reminiscences. A lot of fruitiness like plums, figs and red-raisins. Vinous touches and with reminiscences of raisin in rum.
Flavor: caramel malts in the start, sweet but not sickly. Butterscotch, tea and toffee notes; too yeasty with banana reminiscences. Intensive and lasting fruitiness like ripe-cherries, plums, raisins, figs and (maybe) red-apples. Vinous and oporto touches. Lovely dry final, with fruity hints and ligth but very persistent. Malty and banana aftertaste.
Palate: medium body. Velvety and semi-rough texture. Low carbonation.
Remark: beer with a nice and intensive ripe-fruitiness in noose and mouth. Notable bitterness and great texture. Beer with character and complexity.
JK54B (205), Finland Jul 2, 2008 Draught in Belge. Brown colour. Espressolike light brown head. Some sourness in the taste. Also some malt and hops in the taste. Bite of hops in the end. Some metallic in the taste. ante (2449), Stockholm (Bromma), Sweden Jun 30, 2008 Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm. Pours out in a burgundy brown colour with acreamy off-white foam. Well-composed and balanced aroma of nuts, yeast, licorice, dark cherries and almonds. Medium-bodied with notes of dark bread, licorice, yeast and prunes. Smooth mouthfeel. Long malty finish of blue plums, dark cherries, candid sugar, hay and yeast. marcus (895), Sacramento, California, USA Jun 27, 2008 This dark brown ale poured with a decent beige head and a malty aroma. There is a lot of malt in the flavor with tastes of coffee and candy sugar, and a slight amount of hop bitterness. phishpond417 (1110), Green Bay, Wisconsin, USA Jun 16, 2008 This tastey beer has a coffee like resemblance. Dark brown with a full khaki coloured head. a nice sweet aroma of honey, caramel and almonds. flavors of caramel and toast. a finish that reminds me of a cappuccino.
