| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 27, 2009 Reddish-brown. Light head. Barrely aroma with dark fruits (grape, plum) and a light chocolate note. Sweet & sour palate. Very woody, with a light plum fruitiness. Decent, wood-accented example.

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 24, 2008 Clear dark red with medium off white head. Slightly sour aroma with woody and balsamic notes. Sweet and mild sour flavor with woody, sour apples and malty notes. Get some sour berry notes. Ok - but lacks sourness. fiulijn (7783), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 14, 2008 Beautiful brown color with red beams. The aroma is a bit woody and cheesy, original. The flavor is of an ordinary Amber Ale, with a touch of wood and very light sourness, but without the sugar and body that I like in my beer. The final is therefore week. harrisoni (7113), Ashford, Kent, England

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Aug 16, 2008 The color is red-brown and the head is creamy. The aroma is sour in the right way and it has notes of malt, berries and wood. The flavour has both sourness and sweetness, and I find notes of caramel, wood, berries and hints of vanilla. It’s a really nice one. faroeviking (6370), BjórtjóðveldiðBjórheimBjórsins, Faroe Islands

Nice woody dark fruity sour aroma. Good soft mouthfeel. The flavour has a pleasant roastiness with dark fruits, good soft sourness, some cherry and wood. Dry bitter fruity finish with a sour touch.
