4.3 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bouteille de 33cl. Couleur acajou foncé, mousse onctueuse correcte qui s’estompe en flocons. Riche en arômes : miel, caramel, malts torrefiés, sucre candy... Une attaque assez sucrée mais la suite s’équilibre très bien. Magnifiquement crêmeuse au palet et les 9% ne se font vraiment pas ressentir. Une excellente découverte. Trouvée à Vanuxeem - Ploegstaert.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy dark brown ale with taste of roasted malts, caramel, vanilla and maybe honey?
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20
750 ml bottle shared at PPRBSG 2010. Pours cloudy dull copper with a thinning head- some particulates as well. Aroma is cardboard, old stale oxidized malts, solvent, lettuce, herbs and veges. Flavor is corked to hell, chemical, old stale hops and malt, lame phenolics, plastic, and some artificial sweeteners, chlorine and poolwater with some mildew and cork in the end. Blech.
2.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 1/5 OVERALL 7/20
Pours brown. Half-translucent. Awesome beige head, lasts through. Aroma is... some acidic substance (vineagar?), and somewhat fruity as well (plums?). Taste -- way too much honeyed, to the point that it’s overly metalic - mix with some overfermented pure apple juice. Leave an extremely annoying metallic feeling on the tongue. I’d avoid this one.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
20100515 Sampled at PilsnerPeter’s 2nd Annual Spring Gathering. Chunky, brown color. Palate was a bit acidic, rather full with hefty carbonation. Honey on pancakes. Cork and wet wood. Not the first time I’ve had this one, certainly not the best.
3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Bottle at Peter’s 2nd annual spring gathering. Pours a clear caramel brown. Lightly tart sour funk. Plastic and vinyl, somewhat nutty. Sour-ish and very strange. Nutty and odd. Think something went awry.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20
Bottle at home. Pours a dark brown to very deep dark red color with a thick, very creamy tan head that laces massively. Aroma of burnt sugar, caramel, roasted malts and bready yeast. Flavor is somewhat spicy bread and yeast with a slightly bitter dry ashy powdery maltyness. A tiny bit alcoholic in the finish. Quite lively carbonation and a creamy texture. Strange brew yet quite nice.
4.2 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20
Muddy brown pour. Nose is chocolate malt and brown sugar. Taste is sweet brown sugar, malts, dough and molasses. Rated 3/30/03
