3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 14/20
(Bottle 25 cl) Pours a very unclear orangey brown - dirty river water style - and an off-white, dissipating head. Sweetish aroma of overripe fruits and brown sugar. Very full-bodied with accents of apricots and prunes and perhaps a touch of port. Solid but not overly refined. Big, lumpy impurities. 110206

3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
UPDATED: APR 3, 2005 Bottle. Red/brown colour, NO head. Fresh, fruity aroma. Quite strong, very malty flavour, reminding me of super-strength lager (not positive). A bit aggressive on the malt, but maybe not too bad.

Hazy amber with tiny head. Aroma is sweet with ripe fruits and malt. Sweet alcoholic flavor with prunes and yeast. A bit unbalanced with alcohol too present.
