Pernille (518), Copenhagen, Denmark Jul 25, 2005 Amazing deep brown color. Huge head. Totally cool label. Aroma is malty with some toffee and slightly sour. Flavor is very sweet but with both amlt and hops. Not bad at all. JorisPPattyn (5155), Antwerpen, Belgium Jul 24, 2005 Nearly black; dark brown dense head, leaving lace. Liquorice, black head, chlidren’s sweets in the nose. Liquorice,but retronasal, it’s less sweet, quite like dark grains, as in the French black beers. Light to medium body, falls a bit flat. Tastes like some children’s strengthening drink. masedawg (156), Statesville, North Carolina, USA Jul 23, 2005 Almost burgundy in color with a hint of brown. The head is light tan. The aroma is above average, but nothing spectacular. The beer has a slight roasted hint to it with a slight sweetness. Very smooth beer with a lingering palate. Good choice, pick it up if you haven’t tried it. joergen (8429), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 19, 2005 Bottled.
Clear red brown coloured with a lasting off white head.
Sweet fruity flavour of spices and yeast.
Sweet flavour of dried fruits and yeast with metallic notes.
Nothing special.
Tastes more like a boring dubbel then a brown ale. ericmc83 (200), Arkansas, USA Jul 17, 2005 I didn’t have my notepad with me so I won’t comment on this from memory. I’ll have to rerate this. ChristianSA (368), Copenhagen, Denmark Jul 12, 2005 Bottle & tap. Red brown clear with big bubbled head. Nice estery aroma (very close to Leffe Bruin). Sweet flavor and extraordinarily complex for a beer of this strength. Some caramel and chocolate and hints of rose leafs. Ends with some grain like flavor without much bitterness. Full bodied. Very nice! theacelatrain (262), Washington DC, USA Jul 5, 2005 Bottle. Pours ruby chestnut color with a little off-white head. Smells caramel and brown sugar, a little too sweet. Same with the taste; although complex, overall too sweet. Could use some more hops to balance. Wiseblood (658), Clarksville, Tennessee, USA Jul 1, 2005 Reddish brown, with a nice tan head. Sweet candy aroma, caramel and Belgian malts. Starts very sweet, with flavors of brown sugar, caramel and hints of fruit. Very mild hops make an appearance near the end. Finishes soft, with a syrupy sweetness. Not much balance, but pretty good overall.
