"Clear reddish brown, almost no foam. Sweet aroma of banana, black cherries, vanilla, toffee, dark bread and licorice. Full and sweet malty flavour of toffee, whipped cream, raisin, caramel candied oranges and licoroce. Full-bodied. Yeast, candied almonds and licorice in the finish. No traces of alcohol. Very good."

[4] Review by Bov from Bienne, Switzerland who has tried this beer once. (5/12/2005 7:27:06 AM)
"dark ruby-brown colour, fine and slightly brown-taintd head, lot of licorice in the nose, some notes of chocolate, alcohol and spices, full-bodied and very sweet, the finish is sugary with licorice and alcohol notes - definitely too sweet but it seems to have a huge ageing potential"

[5] Review by E from Spring Mountain, PA, USA who has tried this beer once. (4/29/2005 8:46:58 PM)
"Cork: 06/06... Poured a very dark brown / red color with a medium sized, light tan, creamy head that left really nice lacing on the glass. Aroma of citrus, coriander, nutmeg, cinnamon, and caramel. Taste of sweet caramel, vanilla, dried fruits, spicy cinnamon, light warming alcohol, and a silky smooth mouthfeel."
