[1] Review by oh6gdx from Vaasa, Finland who has tried this beer once. (4/9/2008 2:24:15 PM)
"Bottled. Dark ambery brown colour with big beige foamy head, which leaves a lot of lacing. Aroma is caramel malts, some alcohol and mild fruity- and yeastyness. Pleasant. Flavour is raisins, caramel, sweet malts, some nectary and fruityness as well as mild hopping. Alcohol shows as a very slight glueish note being in the background. Biting carbonation. "

[2] Review by Hannah from OK, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/3/2005 10:11:13 PM)
"Pours golden-brown with good clarity and a short, turn scattered, head. Great aroma, you don't even have to lift the beer from the table to enjoy its sweet and sour smell. The flavor is delicious and includes caramel and plum with Belgium candy sugar lending a powerful sweetness. Medium-bodied, amply carbonated, and surprisingly drinkable in light of its 10% alcohol level."

[3] Review by Brett from Far from good beer, OK, USA who has tried this beer once. (6/3/2005 10:01:10 PM)
"Sampled from bottle. Pours a slightly hazy copper-brown with a thin tan head. I presume the alcohol killed the head. Aroma is bitter chocolate and ripe fruits (raisins, prunes). Flavor is balanced with caramelized malts, alcohol, plums and spice (mostly yeast and perhaps some from hops). Full-bodied, well-carbonated and dry. A fine ale."

[4] Review by BigBry from Calgary, Canada who has tried this beer once. (2/12/2005 9:31:01 AM)
"330 ml brown bottle with gold foil up the neck.
Pours a hazy brown color, off white foam that starts with nice head, then disappears to a thin collar. Held up to the light it is more brown with orangish/red highlites. Sharp smell of brown sugar and lemon, also lots of alcohol on the nose. Taste has caramel, burnt toffee, cloves, and a licorice type finish. Bit of an alcohol burn going down with a slight tinge of metal in the aftertaste.

[5] Review by jonmoore from United Kingdom who has tried this beer once. (12/16/2004 5:14:38 PM)
"Very dark reddish brown with bubbly, fast diminishing tan head. Aroma has caramel, dark fruits, brown sugar and some chocolate. Very well balanced taste. Sweet then sour, malty, some liquorice and dark fruit. Full bodied, quite highly carbonated, with a dry finish. Warming alcohol on the way down. Excellent."
