Ughsmash (3983), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Aug 30, 2007 Bottled. Poured clear reddish-iced tea brown with a sticky cap of beige head. Aroma was dusty and on the lighter end.. well-toasted, peat-laden caramel with an array of mixed fruits. Flavor was aged caramel-based with dusty darker fruits and some oaky and herbal bitterness.. left a sweet, dry fruity and caramel finish. Just shy of medium-bodied and sweet overall with a decent flow.. couple sharper boozy notes and a touch too dry at times. Overall a very enjoyable brew. RaphaelN (195), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Aug 30, 2007 Bottle from LCBO. Pours a reddish-brown liquid. Aroma is malty and sweet. Flavour is sour with a heavy hit of malt on the palate. Slight hint of licorice with loads of caramel from the first sip. Not bad overall. Grandpa (325), Verona, New York, USA Aug 28, 2007 It poured a clear, deep brown with a small off-white head. The strong malt flavor was lightly balanced with the hops. The robust mouth-feel was mellow and left a malt laced aftertaste. It satisfied all the criteria of a "wee Heavy. mar (1740), Rowlett, Texas, USA Aug 26, 2007 poured a nice deep brown color with a small head that faded to lacings. smells very malty with a hint of caramel. very smooth and creamy on the palate. i’ll definitely be buying this again. NJBeerman013 (769), Trenton, New Jersey, USA Aug 24, 2007 Bottle. Pours a deep caramel in color with an ivory colored head. The aroma is sweet of caramel, and a bit of fruit. The flavor is malty, not overly sweet however. It is well balanced, with a nice light bite to accompany the malts. The finish is rich and full. A well crafted beer. Allen (1289), Switzerland Aug 24, 2007 Bottled 50cl. It pours a nut brown beer with a nice creamy tanned haed. The nose is of syrup, caramel, cherries, (definately quite a lot of cherries to my surprise). The taste is very sweet, smooth with some cherries again, offering a strong malty background. Caramel, syrup and marshmallows in the taste. Peaty in a very mediocre way. The finish is dry buttery. Skidds (252), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Aug 19, 2007 Updated: Aug 17, 2008I would call this a Premium bitter. It has all the attributes. Amber brown colour. Caramel toffee aroma and taste. Very, very good. I hope to see if here more often than seasonally.
