Copper brown, small good looking off-white creamy head. Sweet toffeeish-caramelly nose. Medium-bodied. Starts oaky-hoppy, slightly sugary then hoppy bitter finish and aftertaste. A bit Fullers ESB -like ale.

Amber beer with little head. Caramel and roast malt aroma, with some hops and honey, but the caramel is too dominating. The caramel is still there as it enters the mouth, but a rich hops flavour quickly takes over. Long bitter aftertaste.

Near black but with very apparent red highlights; yellow-brown head, dissipating. Bit of molasses and non-bitter dark malts, no sourness as in Rodenbach, point of pepper. Fusels. Bitter, slightly hoppy initial taste, going over in a sweet, liquorice-like flavour, and some dry woodiness, but again no comparison to Rodenbach possible. Some fusels are obvious, certainly warming up. Medium bodied at best; rather watery impression. Palate is not its best feature, but the dry woodiness keeps going on for a long time, which is good. Interesting beer, needs higher cellar temperatures for serving. As a big fan of Rodenbach Grand Cru I would love to try the Old 5X, straight from the fermenters....
