MrAleman (111), Wiltshire, England Sep 12, 2008 Frothy, too much of a moutful, rather rough around the edges, tastes of caramel and toffee though. AsaNewt (113), blackpool, Lancashire, England Sep 11, 2008 a wonderful brown colour with a nice frothy head. Flavour is leather and tobacco in a really good way but with a caramalised sweetness that cuts straight through. Divine. TrappistNr8 (15), Goes, Netherlands Aug 31, 2008 very dark brown color, has a fruity taste, I also taste some spice and a little bit of caramel. has almostly no hop flavour; it’s also a little too sweet for me, but it isn’t that bad, especially not if you like sweet Abbey beers deft (79), Sweden Aug 24, 2008 Clear very dark brown with lots of frothy tan head. Fruity aroma, spices and bread, some caramel. Sweet and bitter taste, caramel and some bread. High acidity MikL (3), Ĺrhus, Denmark does not count Aug 21, 2008 This beer has a very strong aroma.
