Golden color. Some cork in the nose (it's a 750ml bottle, corked). Weak body, some residual sweetness. Poor.

[2000-2001] Re-rate: I was VERY unfair to this beer in my original rating. I had a bit of a head cold, so that may have had something to do with it. This beer has a beautiful head and a dark amber color, with an aroma rich with fruits of all kinds. It has a very full body with a malty and sweet flavor. I still taste a lot of fruit and chocolate in this one, but I find it more pleasant this time. The alcohol content is very well masked. Original rate: 3 - The aroma of this beer is dominated by fruit (raisins, apples) and alcohol, which is also what is most present in the flavor. The alcohol presense swells gradually in your mouth, until your tongue receives a burning/cleansing sensation that I expect more from wine than from beer. There are some subtle notes present, though. Chocolate being the one I notice the most. It's pretty good, I guess.

Rerate: Orange color, slightly hazy. Beautiful thick lasting head. Aroma combined of malts, spices, sweetness, and candy bubblegum. Alcohol is present in taste, but not too overwhelming. Sweet malts, but in a triple style, not double. Bit thin, but definitely highly enjoyable! Original rate: 4 Very much alike with the Hertog Jan Grand Prestige. With 10% a really strong ale, nice dark-amber appearance. The hops smell good and the taste is strong, but the alcohol is definitely present.

Sampled draught at in De Wildeman, Amsterdam.
Amber coloured with rich head. Big nice flowery toffee aroma.- Richly malty, but not overly sweet and certainly not heavy. Just that lovely toffee flavours that lingers on and on. Yummy!

A cloudy orange beer with an OK head - but it disappears quit fast. It has a very fresh fruity and yeasty aroma with hints of alcohol. The flavor has an alcohol sharpness but is very pleasant fruity with hints of yeast. It’s a pretty sweet beer with almost no bitterness. The fruit taste lingers pretty long.

Rerate: Actually one of the better doubles i reconsider. Nice perfume of roasted malts. Still lacks some remaining palate, but for a commercial brew it is definitely very good! Original rate: Decent double, but it lacks some remaining palate.

A beutiful dark brown beer with a good head. It has the aroma of yeast and fruit - and is very fruity in the taste. It is missing something to round off the taste of fruit.

[A 3 year old bottle of this surfaced in my cupboard and I noticed, that it was the first beer I entered on RateBeer 2½ years ago and therefore some 3500 sampled beers ago, so I thougt I’d resample it] A clear red beer with sediment floating around and a nice light brown head. The aroma is fruity with notes of yeast and spices I pick up coriander. The flavor is very sweet with the alcohol giving it warmth, it is very fruity with notes of prunes and wood as well as oranges and plums. Not much change in the ratings, but a better description than first time around. I’m pretty sure, I won’t go thru every beer I’ve had to rerate them. [Original rating: A very delightful fruity smell. A good flavor but a little too much alcolhol taste - La Trappe triple is better. 7/4/8/3/14]
