2002 vintage. Off-white frothy head that lasts some time. Almost black color. Aroma has pepper, cream and tropical fruit. Full bodied. Roasted malt flavor with tropical fruit, coffee, cream and some alcohol. Re-rate 2004 vintage. Malty aroma, slightly roasted and with trpoical fruit. Full bodied, almost thick. Sweet, malty roasted flavor with a hint of smoke. Hoppy with pineapple. Pepper. The alcohol is there, but well hidden. Power and complexity. Good quality beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Vintage 2004. Very dark brown with a tasteful reddish hue - almost mahogany coloured perhaps. Nice, beige head which never collapses completely. Very, very pretty appearance actually. Appears almost clear while standing a while, but has a huge sediment at the bottom of the bottle. Very chocolatey nose. Very malty flavours, somewhat sweet yet with a rather dry finish. Extremely complex and very delicious.200605

A red-brown beer with a huge chocolate brown head. The aroma is totally dominated by chocolate. The flavor is sweet with lots of chocolate, wood, fruit, prunes, and a dry end.

(2002 vintage) Very dark brown, nearly black; dark brown head, irregular. Very fruity nose, bark spices, rosemary, bit of wood, esters en some alcohol. Very stoutlike taste; bit of chocolate, definitely cigar (both -ash + -tobacco). Touch of salt, good dash of liquorice. Faint spices. Excellent balance. Very well-bodied, faint alcoholburn. Touch of end-acidity, giving even some refreshment. Excellent winterale; more than worth looking for.

2004 vintage. Dark color, big head. Aroma is of roasted malts, raisin, some chocolate notes, creamy almost. Taste is indeed like stouty, roasted malts, complex character of fruits and malts. A bit bitter palate, but also lingering maltiness. Very nice!
