(Bottle, Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm) Dark reddish brown colour with brief, beige head. Malty nose with notes of dried fruit, caramel and dark cherries. Malty taste with caramel, dark bread, dried fruit, raisins, prunes and a bready, bittersweet finish. More than medium body, fairly dry. Well balanced and tasty. Very nice.

Warning! Early amateur rating! Frothy beer! Distinctive slightly sour start followed by a crisp dark malty chocolate finish. Nice.

Bottle at Biest Poort in Leuven. Ruddy brown color with chunks, huge dense head. Aroma of alcohol, toffee, and cigarette smoke from bathing in the smoke of other bar patrons. Flavor of caramel candy and chocolate. Very pleasant taste, decent complexity.

Cloudy ruby with a lasting off-white head. Fruity aroma with dates, spice and caramel. Dry, fruity, malty flavour. It’s complex, but quite alcoholic.

Hazy and cloudy brown coloured body with a thinish tan head. Aroma of apples, corn, malt, sugar and a tad of spice. Medium-bodied; Assertive fruits, malt and a bit of alcohol coming out immediately. Gives way to a pungent effervescence showing some sour notes, but mostly strong malty flavours with sweetness and alcohol. Overall, a potent and complex beer - with more malt and fruit notes than yeastie & light flavours. Great to try, I’m definitely happy I picked this up! I sampled this 33 cL swing-top bottle (best by 26-june-2010) purchased from Beer Mania in Bruxelles, Belgium on 17-November-2008, sampled on the Eastern Shore of Virginia on 28-February-2009.

[i] [b] Bottle picked up at Westholme Londis Stores, Goring on Thames, Oxon consumed 16-06-08 [/i] [/b] Reddy brown with large off white head, I like the commercial description I reckon that whoever penned that must have had about half a dozen of these before putting pen to paper. toffee, rich christmas cake fruitiness, alcohol is very much in evidence, very malty, some brandy soaked bananaeyness is there, I liked this.
