Bottle 33cl @ home.
Clear dark dark brown color with a large, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, light beige head. Aroma is moderate to light light heavy malty, roasted, caramel, brown sugar, raisin - dryed plum notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet with a average to long duration. Body is medium to light, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (040708)

A hazy red-brown beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of alcohol and spices - especially coriander, and so is the flavor. On my tastebuds this is a clone of a brune and a blonde - it has the looks of a brune, but the flavor of a blonde.

(Bottle 33 cl) Slightly hazy, dark nutty brown with a creamy, stable, beige head. Aroma of fruit, nuts and molasses. Medium-bodied with roasted, malty accents and some spices. No real bitterness. Decent but not exactly overwhelming. 200107

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with an amber hue and a collapsing tan head. Dried fruity, slight spiced and light malty. Overripe fruity flavour, medium sweet and solid caramel malt note. Ends sweet caramel and fruity.

Bottled. Mahogany colour, smal head. Light coffee aroma. Sweet with clean, somewhat sharp mouthfeel. Notes of chocolate and plums. Drying lightly resiny finish. Nice flavours, but to sharp.

Bottled@The 2nd ES/CS Beer Tasting. (thanks GV!). Deep brown hazy colour with a mediumsized fluffy beige head that leaves lace. Aroma is rather malty along with burnt sugar and some yeastyness. Flavour is sweet malts, dark dry fruits, some burnt sugar as well as mild toffee and yeastyness.

Bottle. Acidic malt aroma. Very dark chestnut colour. Very small head. Dry start follow by an acidic maltiness and no aftertaste. High carbonation.

clear dark blood red, frothy tan head that collapses into a whispy head and bits of lace, light sweet fruity malt aroma obscured by earthy hops, rich malt flavor, nice chocolate character, a fair amount of hop flavor followed by a light bitter finish, adding the yeast gives a nice added complexity with a yeast and raison notes in the aroma and a bready character in the flavor plus brings out rich ripe fruit to make the initial hops fade, blending in the yeast and letting it warm is the secret to this beer

Dark color, nice creamy head. Nice malty flavor, some round malt, big spices (coriander and light cloves; juniper). Interesting!

[Tasting @ yespr] Hazy brown with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with ripe fruits and roasted malt. Same goes for the slightly sour flavor.
