4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Tasty stuff and true to style, as far as I can remember. Served at a good temperature and poured with a lovely, light tan, foamy, frothy, billowy, fluffy head that lasted a while and plenty of lace. Color is a clear dark amber with loads of bubble trails. Aroma is malt, a bit of roast, toffee. Flavor is malt, slightly sweet, balanced nicely with tang and a bit nutty. Body is just right; ditto carbonation. Finish is like flavor, balanced, and without flaws, tapering with average length. Decent brew.

Nice and malty profile in the aroma with a touch of hops. The flavor was malty sweet with caramel and nicely balanced with the bitter hops. Pours an amber color with a small off white head.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20
Amber color with a small head. Aroma was sweet & bready, but put me off a bit. Taste was somewhat sweet and gingerbread-like, but I wasn’t really getting in to this beer. Could have been better.

Quite a nice flavor, nutty, and malty, but sweetens up abit too much for my liking, still a nice beer though, just a little too sweet. I would drink it on occasion.

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Aroma is a nice caramel like malt scent. Color is a slightly hazy brown with good carbonation and a thin head. Taste is sweet and malty. Starting with a medium body it goes down with a smooth creamy feel. Finish comes on with a malty mouth feel that turns sweet and ends with a mild bitterness. Its a nice malty brew that comes off easy and well balanced.
