JohnnyMummbles (151) - Pitman, New Jersey, USA - NOV 10, 2010
330ml bottle pours a rich deep redish brown ale. A think tan head laces the glass as you drink this beer. Aroma starts off with strong notes of heavy malts with sweet finish. Fresh but deep taste hits strong with a refreshing palate. A full bodied dark ale that fulfies every sence.

dwaggs2 (1127) - Jefferson City, Missouri, USA - NOV 4, 2010
Bottle. Poured a dark amber almost brownish color with a large two finger white head. It did leave some lacing as it went. Aroma was fruits, malts, yeast and molasses. Flavor was gingerbread, yeast, and cookies. Medium body. Thick mouth feel. A better beer than I thought.

Bontus (481) - Waasmunster, BELGIUM - OCT 24, 2010
Bottle. Pours a bit lighter than coca cola, very bubbly spritzy head. Slight metallic caramelic aroma. Saturated and spritzy MF. Unconvincing.

lusikka (2062) - Tampere, FINLAND - SEP 25, 2010
330 ml bottle. Rated @ 22.3.2009.
Pours a dark brown colour with a foamy white head. The taste is very Pale Lager like with it’s stinging maltiness. Fruity and dry taste which turns into blatant Pale Lager in the end. This bottle was probably out-dated, needs re-rating.
