2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
A Mes rate:
33cl bottle from Utobeer. Dull Belgian brune that is not to my liking. Certainly not worth the price I paid for it. Very wheaty and yeasty in both the aroma and flavour. Extra sweetness in the flavour. Not at all refined. Alcohol comes through at the finish but is reaonable well hidden elsewhere. Pretty bad all round really. Sweet and acrid. Not a great beer.

UPDATED: NOV 6, 2007 Bottle, 33cl @ YNWA. A deep brown colour, no indication of red - more like a plum colour. Aroma has lots of fruit, raisins, raspberries, some barn and a little fruity tartness. Very full and lightly creamy. Flavour has a surprising oakyness to it, raisins, yeast and a little berries come along as well. All is backed by some roasted caramel. A surprisingly dry finish.

Perhaps I had a contaminated bottle? It was sour and earthy. Like eating raw green beens dipped in mushroom compost. I probably owe it a re-rate but at $10 a bottle I am not motivated to spend my dollar on it.
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Very dark almost black in color. Had a strong nectar/ grape aroma. This beer taste more like a wine than a beer with not enough maltiness to balance out the sweetness.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle - 750ml. Took the wire guard off and the cork took off on its own about 5 secs later but no overflow at all. Caramel, dark chocolate/light musty malt aroma. Murky dark brown color with giant head and very nice lacing. Earthy brown sugar malt flavor with a mild alcohol burn finish. Very nice.

3.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from Party Source. Poured clear dark brown color with a large frothy light brown head that mostly lasted with good lacing. Good caramel and vanilla malty aroma. Medium body with smooth texture. Full well balanced sweet fruity flavor with a medium complex finish of long duration. Good brew.
4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 9/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: MAR 2, 2008 Bottle From Val Dieu sampler. Pours with a medium, well-lived frothy head. The appearance is deep brown with a faint red hue. Smell is very vague, but with a sweet drifting vanilla scent. Taste is amazing, all malt, chocolate, dark fruit, spice, and licorice. The beer is smooth and full-bodied, slightly alcoholic with a rich chocolate aftertaste. It leaves the mouth with a sweet, complex, and satisfied feeling.
