Beerlando (3276) - Orlando, Florida, USA - MAY 18, 2007
UPDATED: JUN 5, 2007 One of my all-time favorites. Discovered it on a Princess Cruise/Land Tour of Alaska in 2005. Loved it so much I lugged two cases back to Florida with me. Amber color with lots of caramel and malt, with some faint spice. Very smooth and easy to drink. Love it. Wish I could find it in Florida.

Caramelly malt nose, with a tiny bit of banana esters in the background. Dark amber with a medium yellow head; Flavor is like a caramel banana, with some light chocolate in the background.

Tried this in the back of a tour bus on the way to a drum corps show. Decent smell. Has fruity notes and ferment. Tastes of cherries and aged fruit. Decent to say the least.

nickd717 (3242) - San Francisco, California, USA - APR 6, 2009
Bottle from BevMo. Dark amber in color with a beige head. Malty aroma with caramel and some fruity notes. Flavor is sweet caramel malt and a little brown sugar and fruitiness with a tiny bit of hops. Smooth palate, medium body. Decent but unremarkable.

Eyedrinkale (3214) - Astoria, New York, USA - FEB 28, 2004
UPDATED: JAN 4, 2005 Amber color (duh) with a nice malty and candy aroma. Decent tan head that didn’t last too long though. Smooth, malty and bitter. Nicely done. Re-rated the head retention in a tulip glass and it did a bit better.
