probstk (1911) - Nepean, Ontario, CANADA - SEP 18, 2007
UPDATED: APR 14, 2008 33 cl bottle from Bieropholie, served just above cellar temp. in a tulip glass.

App.: Medium copper, small light tan head, clear, some lacing. Aroma: Very sweet – plenty of candy sugar, stone fruits and dried fruits, a bit of chocolate, some alcohol and wood, a little yeasty; hints of “warm” spices – clove stands out; dry, dusty hops. Palate: Medium bodied, almost no carbonation, silky and smooth. Flav.: Brown sugar, burnt sugar, some stone fruit, burnt raisins (really), some yeast, a touch of wood and spice; definite bitterness to finish and a touch of alcohol.

Where’d that bitterness come from?? The nose gave NOTHING away. Doesn’t seem to fit, somehow...

janubio (223) - SPAIN - SEP 18, 2007
Amber colour, pours a reddish head that is not very big, but last for a while. Smell is sweet cherries, dark fruits, cinnamon, caramel, spicy. Dry flavor. Taste: Cherries, a hint of chocolate, floral, spicies and a bitter touch. Fruits, caramel. A good one, though I think something is missing, not sure what.
