1.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Good, but not long-living, yellowish head over brown chestnut beer. Coriander soup, with some oxydized malts notes in the nose. Sweet, with sour-sweetish spicey notes, but generally revolting soupy taste. Slick, fatty, oily, ugh. Beer that had gone for a few years. Seen the result of the reappearance, the necromancer to revive it, must be fully evil.

A big pillowy head you could sleep on with good release of gases. Big fruit and brandyish flavors. plums Blackberries and tart cherries. Very roasted malt bitterness and hints of alcohol.

Reddish mahogany. Nose chocolate, some cherries, deeply fruity, quite plummy. Good flavor, rich and malty, caramel, chocolate, and plums, some sugary goodness. Nice stuff. Thanks Argo0 for handing this one over.

Quite malty aroma, slightly alcoholic. Burned chocolate and muscat. Sour start, sparkling middle, quite carbonated. Malty finish and palate.

3 years old, corked bottle
Dark amber color; giant creamy head. Malty aroma, barleywine-like, with spices (white pepper) and bitter oranges. Good malt, quite sweet, with a strong liquorice character. A real Christmas beer; ends less sweet (the age…).
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 13/20
Thanks to argo0. Spicy, slightly bitter aroma, some cherry perhaps? Reddish-brown color with plenty of visible carbonation. Nice foamy head that stays around for a while. Nice flavor, some spices, a touch of sweetness. To me, this beer is hurt by the amount of carbonation and the wateriness of the mouthfeel. Happy to drink it, but it's not quite where it could be.

This beer has a brown-red body - hue apperance and a fine white scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the bottle and it had a low carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is bitter.

Ah, the beauty of a well made “Belgian”, tall dark and handsome setting in the triple glass, WOW what a treat for the eyes, the nose, and oh yes the palate.
Deep ruby red on the pour with a bountiful head, frothy in its texture, light tan in color and as it dissipates, it leaves a silky sheet of lace to conceal the glass. The aroma of over ripe plums, sweet malts, caramel, fresh and clean a real treat for the schnozzle. Sweet at the front, top is lean in feel; finish is astringent and the hops delicate in their spicy bite, a real palate pleasing beer.
