Ungstrup (11136), Frederiksberg, Denmark Mar 13, 2006 A hazy red beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with main notes of berries, but also hints of wood. The flavor is sweet woody combined with notes of berries, and a slight acidity. The body is somehow thin - hard to imagine in a 8.5% ABV Belgian beer.

davidpl (398), Santiago, Chile Jul 16, 2008 Appearance: reddish brown color. Big head of ivory to pale beige color, semi-dense and lasting.
Aroma: to caramel malts, slight chocolate and truffles smells. Intensive ripe fruity and semi-critic aromas, with reminiscences of plums, cherries and raisins. Vanilla cookies from yeasts. Very light clove smells.
Flavors: toast malts in the start with caramel reminiscences. Toffee notes, slightly smoky and woody. Good balance of yeasts (not excessive), that with the toasted malts remember me a toast bread and vanilla cookies. Fruity taste similar to banana, candied plums, raisins and, maybe, blackberries. Reminiscences of chocolate with cherries that almost could be chewed. Some vinous and like cherries liquor. Semi-toasted, chocolaty and yeasty aftertaste.
Palate: medium body and semi-oily. Low carbonation.
Remark: interesting, semi-complex and balanced beer. Fruity and chocolaty touches that almost could be chewed. Maria (3975), Thisted, Denmark Jul 16, 2008 Courtesy of Fonefan. Red mahogany with a nice, creamy head. The aroma has hints of cheese, and notes of apricot and prunes and roasted malt. The flavour has sweetness, notes of syrup, candy sugar, dark fruits, light licorice and roasted malt. It’s very charming, and I like it a lot.
