| 4.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 9/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 18/20 | Jul 27, 2009 (bottle) Poured a dark brown-red colour. Foamy head which subsided within a few mouthfuls. Aroma was of prunes and sweet chocolate! A very smooth beer with no unpleasant aspects whatsoever. Faint bready and phenolic notes which hides the alcohol very well. I have rated this beer highly, but my favourite from Leffe is still the Vielle Cuvee.. mmm SorenE (111), , New Zealand

| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Jun 29, 2009 A terrific surprise find here in Belgrade. .33l bottle that pours a deep ruby, cherry-brown color with a thick brownish head. Nose of clove, spice and dark fruits. Taste is a bit weaker than I expected from the look and nose, but very tasty and spritely, echoing the earlier notes. A terrific brown beer, of course I’d prefer it a bit stronger (in alc and flavor) but this is a great one as is. mariogaristo (1), Ontario, Canada does not count | 3.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 23, 2009 It is good, as it is a different taste than what one might expect, I always taste hazzelnut but it is a great cottage beer!
