harlequinn (2746), Tacoma, Washington, USA Aug 6, 2006 Rich roasted sweet malt aroma, with some nice toasted nuttiness. Mouthfeel is quite rich and creamy, with some dark coffee roastiness and caramel, with a bit of dark fruits as it warms. Smooth, but still very creamy and clean.
joohefner (379), Isla Vista, California, USA Jul 8, 2007 mahogany color with a very small khaki head. sour earth aroma, thin to medium body with light full bubbles. tastes mostly of earthy toffee malt with a sourness that carries a hint of lemon, dry and a light bitterness to the sweet. jpm30 (1585), East Central, Georgia, USA Jan 20, 2007 From a 500 ml. euro bottle with no freshness date.
Poured a reddish hued brown with a small foamy, bubbly topped head that quickly settled into a fine bubbly lacing.
Aromas of cocoa and caramel with a light breadiness, a soft fruitiness and a tad floral.
Moderate carbonation and a softly crisp, dryish, smooth medium bodied mouthfeel.
Tastes of lightly roasted malts, powdery cocoa, caramel and toffee, a hint of nuttiness, a subtle, almost sour, fruitiness, a very soft earthy spiciness, just enough hops to let you know that they there, a slight grain breadiness appears towards the end, and a dry, watery malty finish.
Easy drinkability, but I could have used more in the roasted malty department, kinda flat, thin tasting.
MilkmanDan (1937), Eagan, Minnesota, USA Nov 12, 2006 Dusty gold. Rather fat and buttery, really quite herbal stuff, a mite smoky. Oddly rich, like weedy toffee. footbalm (1210), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA Oct 7, 2006 Had some toffee notes with a bit of soured acidic fruitiness to it. Not bad but wont be buying it . Slick (1956), Minnesota, USA Sep 26, 2006 amber brown color,light tan head,malty aroma,caramel maybe a bit of toffee with a slight burnt side.Malty taste with a slight metallic side with a mild hop and caramel showing.Very nice brew.
