| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Apr 1, 2002 Deep garnet, large fluffy beige head, generous lace and a quite yeasty nose, malts, raisins, quite nice actually. Sweet start, maybe a bit much, top is light, the finish has a touch of hops, moderate to high carbonation, acidic and dry end the rather long lasting after taste. Not the best I’ve tasted, but most assuredely, better than most ’MACROS’! demain1099 (39), Netherlands

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 3, 2003 Bottled. Deep ruby red, initially good head that quickly collapses, and moderate condition. Surprisingly complex aromas (despite my expectations) of roasted coffee, chocolate and wood smoke, almost porterlike. Sweet malt in the mouth and a slight lingering roast coffee note in the short finish. Starts with promise but fails to deliver in the end.

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 20, 2004 Bottled version, served in a cooled Leffe glass. Dark brown, with an orange/red tinge when held up to the light and a slight off white head that lasts well. Delicate aroma, light alcohol. Tastes like brown sugar, slight fruit, toffee & caramel flavours. Alcohol quite apparent, but still goes down well. Lingering bitter & yeasty aftertaste, pleasant, a good beer. iammarc (193), Inverness, Scotland
