4.1 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle, 2000 at kulminator. Soo good, it was very complex. I am sure it was mostly from the aging. It had a very nice and complex body that had not disappeared. it was very complex, it was a yellow colour and the taste was some what cherry like with a backing of crisp malts. Very nice.

Bottle from 2000 at Kulminator. Poured light yellow with little head. Light yeast with smooth malt base. Very unique flavour.
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from 2000. Still a nice head that lasts very long. Some spicy bitterness in the aroma, not any sourness as you would expect after 10 years of ageing. Very different taste. Somewhat bitterness with complex hop flavours.

3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled@The 1st Vaasa CS/ES beer session (old vintage, thanks WK). Hazy golden colour with some particles floating around. Slightly off-white fluffy head, that leaves some lace. Aroma is fruits, spices, caramel malts, some zest as well as mild yeastyness. Flavour is very fruity and slightly spicy with also some slight alcoholic and yeasty notes in it. Very balanced and nice. Has aged well.

UPDATED: FEB 11, 2010 [9/5/09] Bottle sample at Kulminator in Antwerp after LCRBM. Slightly hazy golden. Spicy aroma. Sweetish-spicy flavor with yeast, some malt and fruits. Medium-bodied. So-so.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
33 cL bottle, 2003 version at Kulminator. Pours dark orange with a small cloudy yeasty presence, white head. Dry yeasty and malty in the aroma. Dry malty and slight cheesy flavoured, flat oxidisation note. Dry and persisting malty flavoured finish. This bottle didn’t age too well.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle conditioned, 330ml, aged 7yrs. Orange gold with white head. Deep herby nose to the beer which leads into a spicy, heady, alcoholic brew, still sharp and yeasty and has kept very well. The body is quite light for such a big beer. An obvious classic of its type.
