Wolfbass (22), Firenze, Italy Nov 5, 2009 Color dark amber with beautiful head. In the complexity of warm aromas, the chocolate prevails. The good balanced, the body structured with points of caramel and spice. Good beer. scrizzz (1246), kirkland, Washington, USA Nov 3, 2009 watery gusher. hmm. at least spew forth with gusto! Oh well. Dark chestnut brown, lighter in body than I expected. Small head. Some cola nut and Brazil nut aroma. Blissfully smooth, airy, whipped and gentle. Surprising. Sweet, brown sugar, notes of pecan and leather. Very good beer, little tingly in the deep finish. PJClarke (590), London, Greater London, England Oct 31, 2009 Fat malts with heaps of demerara about them. Light burnt flavours and sweet toffee give way to quite a drying bitterness. Very long in the finish with the burnt woodiness coming to the fore. Quite easy drinking but with a great depth and intensity about it. guyinchicago (516), marengo, Illinois, USA Oct 31, 2009 11.2 oz bottle best b 4 2010 poured lite brown with lots of floaters that rose to the top of this very carbonated brew very lively from the time i cracked the top aromas of fruits,vineger,dough and nalts taste was a sour funk I couldn’t finish the bottle it had to be infected so i will have to re rate this one some day soon i hope tomkrat2008 (21), Bratislava, Slovak Republic Oct 27, 2009 I have to say that I don’t like dark beer. I’ve tried to find something positive about the taste but I simply couldn’t. cheeta (858), Langĺ, Denmark Oct 25, 2009 Wery good aroma with raisin. Large, frothy, off-white head. Good lacing. Mostly diminishing longevity. Clear, brown body. Moderate sweet flavor with notes of raisin. Medium to full palate. Stefano (1321), Esbjerg, Denmark Oct 22, 2009 Dark amber colour with frothy beige head. Aroma is alcohol, cellar notes, sirup. Flavor is caramel, slight alc, dark red fruit, plum, lots of candy sugar, sweet dough, slight red apple. Medium body. scoth (264), Fort Collins, Colorado, USA Oct 20, 2009 Pours chunky amber-brown, with a two finger beige head, very good lasting lacing. Fantastic aroma, rich and complex malt character, banana bread, sour dough and caramel apple stand out, with undertones of pear, fig, leather and hard-wood. Medium-full body, zesty, and crisp. Flavor is full and complex, biscuit, sour apple, cherry, with some grass and earthy notes. Finishes a touch tart, lightly dry, and mildly bitter. Well balanced.
