| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 12/20 | Jul 18, 2008 12oz bottle. Pours a clear ruby-hued mahogany with a nice off-white head and good carbonation. Aroma is earthy and smoky, with hints of grain, smoke, wood, anise, and a bit of hops. Flavor is light-bodied and flat, with an unexpectedly sweet flavor of banana, anise, cloves, and hops giving way to a dry finish of smoke and wood. Interesting flavors, but uninspired character.

That is really my only compaint. Allen (1339), Switzerland

Wheat, licorice, nutmeg, mince pies, berries, incense, banana, cloves and ginger showing up. Nicely balanced. Decent bitterness. Extremely pleasant mouthfeel. Beautiful lacing. Strong sweet smoky finish. Draught 50cl in Penny Farthing in Aarau, Switzerland. Wonderfully balanced. Hints of mince pies, candy, pear and hops. Decent bitterness. Smooth. Inferior to the bottled version. 7/3/7/4/13 3.4 kieleszd (83), Grand Rapids, Michigan, USA
