| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 25, 2006 750 ML bottle: Chestnut brown w/ a lasting light beige head. Toasty, figish, and lighlty yeasty come to my mind upon the first whiff. Also lightly floral w/ hints of woody aromas possibly from the cork. Mildly pepper spiced yeast with very little fruity ester except for the light fig notes. Some bready malt comes through as it warms. Well balanced overall, finishes dry and lightly tart. Some sugary sweetness between toasty and bready malts, very little fruitiness in the flavor, but mostly up front. Light raisiny notes, but mostly clean of fruitiness. More toasty malt as it warms, it’s even clean of most of the spicy yeast notes in the aroma. Short lived, lightly roasty aftertaste. Highly carbonated, lighter body due to carbonation level, and well hidden alcohol. Another solid beer from Van Steenberge. TomDecapolis (3150), Skippack, Pennsylvania, USA

| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 14, 2006 750 ml thanks to jimmack at mels gathering. Pours a ruby medium amber, clear and a nice lasting head. Aroma has quite a bit of diacetyl which covers up most of the underlying sweetness. Flavor is sweet, sugary, light molasses, toasty malts, more butter, kind of one-dimensional. jimmack (1221), Nutley, New Jersey, USA
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Aug 13, 2006 750ml. bottle shared at Madness With The Moose. Clear mahogany color with a medium sized beige head. Quite buttery, diacetyl aroma with some brown sugar and nuts. Flavor wasn’t as bad as expected, given the aroma and my distaste of diacetyl. Still somewhat buttery, but not as much as the aroma. Light nuttiness and some caramel malt round out the flavors. DocLock (4648), Lower Pottsgrove, Pennsylvania, USA
