mutz (294) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 24, 2013
Troebel, bruinrode kleur. Weinig aroma. Smaakt vlak en behoorlijk zoet met een vleug zure azijn en wat zoet fruitigs. Niet zo mijn ding.

prawlie (862) - Berkshire, ENGLAND - MAY 22, 2013
33 cL bottle from Beers of Europe into an Achel glass. Dark red brown, with a bit of head that then disappears rapidly. Sweet-buttery aroma. Bitter-sweet, smooth, tasty. A touch tangy, and moreish. Tastes somewhat spiced.

Iphonephan (1234) - Virginia, USA - MAY 21, 2013
On draft at Churchkey in DC. Pours a cloudy dark brown with a thin bubbly head. Aroma of caramel and licorice. Flavors of hibiscus, caramel and raisin. Sweet but nice.

Abijen (216) - NETHERLANDS - MAY 20, 2013
Pours a beautiful orange red beer with a good white head. Smells a bit cheesy and sweet. Taste is medium sweet. To sweet and a bit bitter on the finish. Dont like the bitter finish on this one but the redt off the palate is nice.

MrW (228) - Londerzeel, BELGIUM - APR 30, 2013
Sample of an 11 years old (2002) one @ZBF ’13. Aromas of coffee, caramel, overripe prunes, sour. Pours brown, cloudy, tan normal head quickly fading. Some sediments. Coffee, caramels, toast with marmelade. No carbo, light alcohol warmth, full taste. Refreshing for a dark beer, yet a bit of the vinous warmth. Aftertaste is short.

StoutHead (239) - DENMARK - APR 26, 2013
Bottle. Pours a beautiful clear amber/reddish colour with a quickly disappearing off-white head. Aroma of malt, caramel and spices. Taste is quite sweet - and like the aroma with fruits. Mouthfeel is full and it has a short bitter aftertaste with lots of alcohol in it. Not bad.

33cl. Bottle. Pours almost clear amber brown with white head. Aroma spice, caramel, dark fruits, malts. Taste caramel sweet, little sour, some bitters. Mouthfeel bit oily, thin. Ok beer, not sure about the style ;)

Patou (7) - FRANCE - MAR 15, 2013 does not count
330ml bottle. Aroma: notes of caramel and raisins. Not that agreable Taste: notes similar to the aroma. Rather strong in alcohol, vinous one. Rather agreable Palate: Medium body, average/lively carbonation, rather bitter and abrupt finish Overall: not my prefered beer but rather good and agreeable in overall
