Bottle, blind tasting @ C’est. I was rather impressed with this beer. A bit vineous up front with hints of cherry, woody, toasty and caramel flavours with a somewhat smoky finish. A bit of that signature metallic Amsterdam profile and harsh carbonation, but it’s tempered by the sugary malts and high alcohol. Not bad at all.

Apr 26, 2007 For a full flavoured, full bodied beer, it is very drinkable. Nice clean finish leaves you wanting another sip. Deep ruby colour with very little head. Not much aroma, slight sweet malt/metallic. Nice earthy caramally flavour. Very smooth. Cheers!

Apr 15, 2007 Very dark pour of a deep red. Weak scent (though was in a crowded pup) A bit of spice and malts. Bitter rush immediately on the tongue that fades fast. Either boozy or spicy on the tongue, leave a bit of a burn. A touch of earth malts in the finish. A very good ’local’ draft.

dark red/amber color. right off the bat, I can smell the alcohol, with a touch of caramel, and malt. flavour is rich, and malty, with some caramel in there. A nice offering, one of their better beers for sure.

Feb 28, 2007 [181-20070106] 341mL. Medium leathery aroma with light grassy straw, plastic and noticeable alcohol. Clear, deep ruby red body with a few random bubbles and a quick light brown foamy head. Flavour has medium meaty quality with something earthy and a light bitter background in the aftertaste. Medium-full body, a bit astringent. Lovely colour and togetherness, repeatable.
