Roast nutty flavour. Lighter than a Stout, with some meatl, but very nice. Good balance and length of flavour. Liked this a lot. BeerAteHer (384), St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Oct 9, 2004 Pours a beautiful burgundy color. Light rusty head that eventually dissipates, leaving powerful lacing that’s fun to swirl around in the glass. Aroma is rather faint but chili and peaty, somewhat reminiscent of an imperial stout. I am rather impressed with Moling’s flavor – extremely pronounced malts and barley as advertised, with a club soda backwash. Has great carbonation and interesting metallic/chowdery aftertaste (in a positive sense). Also provides a high-gravity hops kick going down and in the stomach. At $1.99 for a 500 ml bottle this is one to put on the weekly shopping list! cyrenaica (440), Milton, Ontario, Canada

I tried this beer on October 27, 2007 after purchasing from my local LCBO outlet. The beer poured a beautiful translucent red colour with a 1 inch tan coloured head. The aroma was hoppy and slightly sour. The mouthfeel was full-bodied and creamy with mild carbonation. The taste was hoppy as well, with some bitterness on the side of the tongue.

That is really my only compaint. Volgon (2490), Manchester, New Hampshire, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Sep 17, 2003 Clear brownish ruby color with a light tan head. Caramel and sweet malt aroma, full bodied. Starts and ends slightly sweet. MilkmanDan (1940), Eagan, Minnesota, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 2/5 | 16/20 | Mar 26, 2002 Pretty deep red with a moderate creamy head. Strong hints of caramel in the nose. Nice flavor, with loads of caramel, toffee, and peat in the malts. Texture’s less than ideal, needs to be creamier, but still quite tasty. jbrus (4916), Delft, Netherlands
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 26, 2004 Little hoppy and malty aroma. Brown color, beige head, very nice lace. Light sweet, malty, caramel, nice hop bitterness, medium body. Not outstanding but still a very nice ale. Nate (2575), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | May 12, 2003 Sweet and malty aroma, with grains/grasses. Twizzlers and rye. Very nice aroma - just wanted to keep sniffing. Hints of malted chocolate and vanilla. Deep ruby-brown color. Head was off-white and foamy but subsided to wispy lacing veil. Medium watery body and light active carb. Quite a grainy flavor - like rye bread. Sweet, like Twizzlers, deep malts and a sugary hint though the beer is quite dry. Some hops came through to finish off. After is a clean barley taste. Would like to have again.
