Received a 12-oz bottle via Secret Santa trade. Pours a semi-clear copper amber colored brew with an average sized off-white head. Aroma of toasted dark caramel malt, some floral hop spice, and a touch of dark pitted fruits. Taste is medium bodied, flavors of toasted caramel malt, some mild spice, a touch of iced tea and floral hops. Finish is semi-dry with an iced tea and caramel malt aftertaste. Some sharp bitterness at first and then disappears.

malty and bready with a long and masked finish that is bitter and buttery. caramel without being sweet at all. no real sense of hop and the malt flavor is aged. a little slick in the body this brew is interesting though what one would expect from an Irish ale. still...worth a try.

Pours a rich ruby red with a thin white head. Has a nice hoppy aroma and lots of effervescence. It tastes of sweet roasted malt and lots of citrus and bitter hops.

Bottled. A hazy dark red beer with a t hin tan head. The aroma has strong notes of hops lending it citrusy notes, but also notes of fruits leaning on being over ripe and hence very sweet on a malty back ground. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of malt, caramel, over ripe fruits, and medium notes of hops, the latter lending it notes of citrus, leading to a very bitter finish. The over ripe fruits gives it a good body. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy orange to light brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is mild caramelish and vague fruity. Roasted malty, vague breadish and oxidised touch. Bitter and dry finish with a mild toffeeish touch.
