Borresteijn (427), Amstelveen, Netherlands Aug 19, 2008 2005 vintage. Reddish brown colour, thin white head. Aroma is strong, very malty and alcoholic, glue. Flavour is very sweet and malty, which spoils it for me. Too sweet. Can’t get any of the other flavours out. Thick and creamy mouthfeel. Didn’t enjoy this at all. joekinty (169), rockledge, Florida, USA Aug 12, 2008 1996 vintage thanks homer321 Very great aroma strong sherry notes thick and syrupy very complex great beer SCBrew (18), San Clemente, California, USA Aug 12, 2008 Pours clear Redish Brown. Very musty aroma that turned to sweet as the beer sat. Very sweet and alcoholic . Too sweet for me. MonsterMunch (3), Newbridge, Ireland does not count Aug 12, 2008 brewed 2007 - A dark clear beer with the scent of strawberry jam. Slightly less jam on the taste and a finish like a tawny port without as much of the sweetness.
Definitely one to have in your stocks as the best before date is seven years after birth but would probably last longer. Homer321 (63), Rockledge, Florida, USA Aug 9, 2008 I guess I should mention this is a ’96. aroma is awesome, full of dark maltiness. flavor is sweet and smooth, very complex. overall, awesome. I wish I had more.
