Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jul 20, 2001 I can’t believe Beaumont likes this - very wimpy malt character, totally lacking complexity. Sure it’s better than St. Ides, but it’s still lacking the kind of charisma required to put a beer of this size over. Bov (4659), Bienne, Switzerland Jul 21, 2001 red-amber colour, fine head, deep malty and pineapple aroma, sweet, strong alcohol presence, typical taste of a strong lager - not so much disgusting as most danish strong lagers but definitely not my kind of beer ... jbrus (4194), Delft, Netherlands Jul 20, 2001 Radek Kliber (3342), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Dec 15, 2002 Yes the alcohol aroma was present. That is not a surprise. Sweet. Not bad head for such strong lager. Alcohol taste was not overly exposed. Decent aftertaste. CapFlu (3340), Victoria, British Columbia, Canada Jun 23, 2003 (650ml Bottle) Frothy, white, quick dissipating head and an amber body. Aroma of sweet malt, whiskey, cereal. Flavours of flowery hops, sweet molasses malt and a somewhat alcohol and bitter finish. Complex but uneventful...
