3.4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20A very smooth (especially for an 8% alcohol percentage) beer. A nice dubbel style ale. A honey/vegemite(!) aroma, taste has some cognac in it. Very nice and smooth, but just misses a little bit of ’oomph’
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a dark copper color with a small head that fades to bits of lacing. Aroma of dark fruit, some roasted, bit of caramel sweetness and spices. Tatse of dark fruit some caramel sweetness with a bit of spice in the background. Mild bitterness and a clean finish. Moderate body, smooth with just a hint of the 8.0% ABV. Enjoyable sipper to relax with. Has a warming feeling that takes the edge off a cold evening
2.6 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
A really disappointing beer, poorly balanced and not much on the palate, such a shame.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Pours a golden colour with a white head. Aroma is sweet of fruit, prunes, raisins, caramel and hints of roastiness. Taste is pretty sweet leading to a fruity and caramel finish. Little bitterness. Pretty nice stuff.
2.8 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Pours deep amber. Aroma is syrupy sweet. The flavour is overdone on candi syrup to the point that it tastes faintly of autolysis. Needs improvement

1.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 6/20
undercarbonated and too sweet. Booze really apparent. Was hard to drink and it met the sink
