Bottled, one at Kulminator and one at home. (1998 vintage) Rating no 1000. Murky, dark brown with a tiny beige head. Berries, at least blackcurrant, caramel, candi-sugar, dried fruits, coffee-notes and cellar-notes in the aroma. Berries, dried fruit, candisugar, hints of lightly roasted grain, yeast, some alcohol and caramel flavor. Delicious. You should have the whole bottle to get all the nuances in the beer, as the sediments adds a good deal of aroma, flavor and looks. It has a full, sweet body, and the finish has some alcohol and sweetness. The two bottles I had, both came from Kulminator, was supposed to be the same vintage and stored the same way, yet tasted differently. Could someone convince the monks that they should start brewing it again? (060801: 8-4-8-3-15-3.8) (060714)

Jul 27, 2008 Bottle from Hellomynameis. Huge thanks to Zac for this rare gem. Pours opaque mahogany with a two finger tan head. The nose is malty, apricot, plum and a hint of alcohol. The flavor is quite the same, with all influences blending beautifully. Ther’s also a touch of sour ale, almost vinegar like, but it wasn’t bad at all. Added complexity. The finish is dry tannic and clean.
