3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Very dark brown, but with clear red shine; very thick, beige head, quite stable. Rich, warm malty nose, at the same time piney - not hoppy. Very sweet taste but with overtones of burnt malt and burnt caramel. Liquorice, herbal notes (aroma's like aucuba leaves, or maybe thyme). Velvety, creamlike mouthfeel. Alcohol is well hidden, but the warming, heavy feeling says it all. This is far from bad. Achouffe seldom is. But imagine this being made in DFH... explosion of hops, chocolate and alcohol - or St. Bernardus - explosion of vinous, fruity, and chocolate notes. Achouffe is just too polished for that. Sorry. I am.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottled A dark brown coloured beer with a little head. The aroma has candy sugar, spices and a little licquorice. The taste is similar with spices to the fore. Notes of coal in the mouth. Warming.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Deep brown, almost close to black. Has an aroma consisting of bananas, alcohol, dark malts and some spices. Very stong flavor of alcohol consumes the mouth, though at the end of the drink and through the finish there is a pleasent roasted fruit and flower quality similar to a dubbel. Overall, quite strong, but very flavorful.

UPDATED: AUG 10, 2008 Ruby berries riding bubble rockets...Dry thyme raining on port wine lakes...Barley winish caramel malt and herbal hop bitterness sign off this hefty winter celebration...This ages beautifully, as was proved recently by a 3-year-old 2004 bottle.
