Nate (2256), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 27, 2003 Light hops with sweet, fruity malts. Syrupy and kind of spicy. Dark amber clear beer with light off-white lacing head. Medium watery body and light carbonation. Good malts profile and light hops. Sweet nutty after. Alcoholic, but watery, too. More like a sweet bitter than a dubbel to me.
badlizard (1526), San Diego, California, USA Sep 10, 2008 On tap at brewery. Copper brown with no head. Caramel, molasses, and brown sugar aroma and taste. Soonah (519), Tulsa, Oklahoma, USA Aug 14, 2008 On tap at Max’s in Baltimore. The pour was more brown than red, slightly turbid and sat beneath a decent off-white head that was borderline creamy. The aroma was lots of malt and spices. The flavor was very malt heavy with nice spice but not as much fruitiness as I like. The mouthfeel was fine, solid carbonation that added life but wasn’t in the way. Skeegle (318), USA Jul 14, 2008 Nice spicy aroma with lightly sweet flavors of yeastiness, brown sugar, apples, plums, and some banana but only after the finish. Fairly crisp despite a nice maltiness. Very good beer. Sammy (3141), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 3, 2008 Enjoyed on tap at Mahaffey’s in Baltimore. Thick layers of lace.Yeasty aroma including some funkiness. Some sourness. Some hops. Alcohol detected of palate.Interesting. KnN (320), Greenbelt, Maryland, USA Jun 14, 2008 On tap at the Frisco Grille in Columbia, Maryland. Poured a very nice red color with a nice white head. Aroma was fairly sweet with a hint of fruit and malt. Flavor was a bit different though. Kind of dry, a little less sweet but with a nice twang on the back end. Good beer. A little high ABV for a session beer, but the flavor is there for sure.
