DSG (1501), Tel Aviv, Israel Nov 6, 2009 Bottle. Unclear dark brown with a big, slowly-diminishing, beige head. Aroma of caramel, raisins, plums and other dark fruits. Sweet malty taste with some caramel, toastiness, some nuts, light licorice hints, dark fruits, a bit of spiciness and alcohol and metal notes. Medium-bodied. zach8270 (2047), Henrietta, New York, USA Nov 2, 2009 (bottle - 330 ml) Clear brown color with a frothy tan head. Aroma is sweet and fruity. Lots of plums and caramel up front. Flavor starts with a sweet and fruity taste mixing with some mild spice and dark malts. There’s a nice and semi-sweet cocoa middle along with some more fruits and spices. A nice yeasty finish comes up and leaves a mild sweetness. JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Oct 17, 2009 Deep brown, slightly hazy pour with a thick tan head and some nice ruby highlights. Really good looking beer. The nose is fairly plummy and chewy. A soft spicy yeast with a bit of dark sweet fruit skin. A touch of clove and some light tannins as well. There is a kiss of cocoa on the back. The beer is well-balanced and eminently drinkable. It’s sweet but not cloying. Toasty with a bit of rye-like sweetness. A little bit rummy with a lovely sweet molasses character. This isn’t a bock, but it’s very good. JanEric (165), Meppel, Netherlands Oct 7, 2009 Dark brown colour, big creamy head, creme-coloured. Staying in the glass for a long while. In the nose there is roasted malts, coffee, caramel. Tastes hoopy, bitter, herbal, hints of coffee and malts. A bit sweet, but for sure not dominating. Long finish, Nice. BoBoChamp (1332), Gent, Belgium Oct 5, 2009 30cl, from the brewery, complex brew, yet easy to drink, balanced, hazy, good head, good Trappist ChristianScheffel (4402), Odense, Denmark Oct 1, 2009 Dark chestnut with a big off-white head.
