draft from hopleaf, served in a frosted mug. dark brown. caramel, dark fruit, mint in the very strong aroma. very cool. my friends say it’s super coriander. i kept thinking it was unlike any beer i’ve had before. really good, and super tasty and refreshing.

Very dark brown in color. Aroma is combination of sweet, spice and sour. Overcarbonated. Flavor is sweet and strong, somewhat malty. A good one.

Pours a dark chocolatey brown with a light brown head. Has a chocolate stout aroma. Smooth dark chocolate taste along with roasted malt sweetness. Really like a lager version of stout since there is a crispness to the taste. Some ABV warmth.

330ml bottle (Alvar, Turku)
Deep orange. Sour aroma. I’ve had this half a dozen times before, and this is outside the bell-curve with its acidic aroma, and lactic palate (which I actually quite liked). Should rerate a fresher one. Had 2 or 3 beers at Alvar which were not in their prime that evening, so maybe this is their cellaring rather than a Lefebvre quality problem.

dark maroon body with a nice white head. nice yeasty nose that is malty and good. plummy and inviting. flavor is light roast, sweet figgy goodness, and a hint of pear ond choclate. finish is sweet plum and a lasting earthy yeast. lemon notes intertwine. 5 6 8 4 16

Pours near black with a big off white head. Aroma is malty and slightly yeasty. Taste is malty and smooth, with some roasted malt and caramel coming through, along with a nice bit of yeast. Pretty good.

deep brown color with tan head. Aroma of caramel, flavor of caramel malt and brown sugar. Too sweet for me, but decent enough.

UPDATED: DEC 22, 2008 From tap, Dark brown liquid strong chocolate aroma actualy more like date honey (also called "Silan"), the flavor was just the same with high sweetness and complex flavors, Nice one
