Aug 2012 - similar to red chimay. Not v carbonated at all, considering the 8 was. Not very complex flavours - drinkable but no wow factor. Maybe a bit of banana there somewhere.

Bottle at Eulogy. Medium dark cloudy caramel pour with a large island of foam. Refined, but thinner and fruitier than the 8 or 10. Dark caramel red fruits. Raisins. Prunes. Dates. Figs. Vanilla caramel. Flavors are full, rich, complex and integrated but feel "further away" than the higher versions. Pretty wonderful actually.

Bouteille 330ml. De couleur ambrée-brune et voilée. Nez de levures fruitées (raisins, léger de fruits foncés, traces de bananes), malté de caramel doux aux notes de toffee, léger de sucre brun avec des notes de chocolat, d’épices (clou de girofle, notes de coriandre) et d’alcool doux. Rondeur moyenne en bouhe et moyennement pétillante avec une texture légèrement crémeuse. Goût de levures fruitées (léger de raisins, notes de bananes, de cerises et prunes) et moyennement épicées (clou de girofle, notes poivrées et traces de coriandre) lors de l’entrée en bouche suivi d’un goût malté de caramel doux, léger de toffee avec des petites notes de mélasse terreuses et de pain puis en finale l’on retrouve une légère amertume de houblon floral avec des notes d’alcool très doux. Post-goût long et un peu sec, légèrement amer d’alcool très doux avec un goût de levures fruitées (notes de raisins). (2006)

12 Fl. Oz. Bottle. Poured Dark reddish Brown with a little bit of head. Aroma is predominantly fruits and malts. Taste while quite complex is also pretty consistent with aroma but there is also a hint of bitterness to it. Nice and enjoyable.

Bottle. Pours a hazy brown color with a thin white head. Nose is a little bit sweet with just a hint of caramel in there. Taste is much the same, though not very sweet; a hint of bitterness, actually.

Mooie amberkleur, zoetige (caramel) en fruitige smaak. Iets te tintelend op de tong.

After having the 8 and 10 this one may seem a little disappointing. Don’t get me wrong an excellent beer, but much more thin bodied than it’s older brothers.

0,33 bottle Delicious light chocolate/ caramel malt flavor. but the abv is balanced wonderfully in the finish. Not hoppy, very smooth.

33cl bottle from the Romsey Beer Emporium. A golden amber pour with a billowing cream head that soon settles back to a thin layer; the aroma is heady and bready with perhaps a dash of raisin and cinnamon; the flavour is rich with lots of fresh pear fruit; and a clean, light, fruity finish. Rather subtle and unexpected.

Bottle. Pours cloudy brown with a thick, bubbly white head. Short lived. Aroma is ginger, dates, raisins, sweet alcohol, yeast and malt. Moderate sweet and note particularly bitter. Short finish. Light body with a moderate carbonation.
