Tasted November 17. 2011: Brewed in 2007. Taste of cellar first, but this disappeared after some time. Very heavy beer. Could be very good in combination with food. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

pivnizub (7229) - Bochum, Porúří, GERMANY - DEC 6, 2008
Bottle LCRBM08. Light amber coloured with a small, slowly diminishing off-white head. Sweet nutty-caramelly nose with a molassy and hoppy background. Moderate sweet-bitter flavour, quite light bodied for a beer of 7.1%. Delicate malty-nutty and slightly bitter finish. O.K. .....

yngwie (9188) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - OCT 31, 2008
Bottle. A clear, dark golden beer with a small, off-white head. Caramel-malty nose with some fruityness and a grainy touch. Caramel-malty flavor too, with the same fruityness found in the aroma. Also a touch of alcohol. Medium to full body, slighlty warming. Caramel finish with some alcohol. Sure, it’s a decent beer, but also quite ordinary, or maybe boring in a way. Like it though.

JorisPPattyn (6727) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - OCT 26, 2008
Clear pale chestnut with just a rim of yellowish head. Very sweet nose, alcohol, malty, old hazelnuts and cashews, sweet honey bread. Sweet bread returning in the taste, with autumn leaves, nutty, but not oxydized. Rather sticky MF, and in fact not very well-bodied. Average. Carlsberg can do better.

Marsiblursi (2675) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - JUN 20, 2008
(Bottle) Pours copper brown. The aroma is of caramel and bread like malt with some herbal and hoppy tones in the background. Undertones of marzipan and maybe some grass. Hints of sweet dark fruits and spices. The flavour is of bread and caramel like malt alongside some subtle spices and hops in the background. The mouthfeel is clean and light smooth with a sticky sting. Medium sweet and fruity, light to medium bitter and dry. Medium bodied.
