The aroma was malty and sweet. The tase was malty and bitter. The head was frothy and the lacing covered the entire glass from top to bottom. The mouthfeel was smooth and slightly carbonated. Not very bitter though. Pretty good.

Extremely drinkable, a very nice beer also when served cold. This is one of my favourite beers ever. The aroma is a bit closed, but the beer looks fine and has the correct (for me) amount of bitterness.

This bottled brew poured a large sized head of foamy fine to medium sized off-white colored mostly lasting bubbles that left behind a fair lacing. The body was a carbonated brown transparent color. The aroma was woody with a burnt malt note. The mouth feel was very tingly with a mild hop finish. The flavor contained notes of malt hops and burnt caramel.

The beer was obtained in a 500 ml. bottle with a best before date of 28 December 2004. The beer poured out with a reddish amber clear body, and a 1 ½ inch thick foamy beige head that was pretty persistent and left pretty nice lace. The aroma was very mild and unremarkable with mostly fruity smelling malt and little to no hops. The taste was also pretty sweet, with cherries and plums. There was also quite a bit of roasted nutty background to the taste. The mouthfeel was a bit creamy at the start of the sip, with a sticky feel mid palette, but the finish was quite watery and weak. A passable session beer, but not an outstanding one.

This is a brown cloudy beer with very little head. What little head it has has very large bubbles. Lacing is also also very poor. The taste simulates a cold caramel flavored coffee. Slightly smokey with a burnt malt flavor. Crisp and cool, slightly bitter. Not a very great beer. palate is also sour.

Amber, offwhite head. Aroma is malty with tofee and vanilla. Flavor is pretty much the same. with toffe and malts. But this was a little too thin to get a high rating.
