kidmartinek (972), austin, Texas, USA Feb 21, 2008 Pours dark tan, small head, earthen, limestone aroma, that comes of sharp. Slightly bitter, wooden, metallic, yeasty flavor. A bit rough on the finish. GreenWall (53), Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada Feb 20, 2008 Subtle. Faint sweet aroma. Clear copper-brown, wonderful but fleeting head.
Banana esters, sweet spices (eg cloves), ripe stone fruit (apricot), apple pie. Yeasty, bread and toffee in the mouth. Slight alcohol warming in the finish. Exquisite if unchallenging. I want to drink a lot of these. iride15 (169), Orlando, Florida, USA Feb 19, 2008 A good brew with some bitter apricot taste. Good appearance that pours well, and its a beer that even the girls will enjoy (which is good when you don’t want to waste the money on wine and a good Italian restaurant). soccer290 (135), Highland Park, Illinois, USA Feb 19, 2008 Very smooth taste, great taste overall. Head was about half finger high at pour, dissipated quickly. The color reminded me of a dark apple cider. I really enjoyed this beer joekinty (263), rockledge, Florida, USA Feb 18, 2008 aa wonderful creamy white head taste is fruity wtih a hint of apricot flavor. all in all this a well balanced ale. KAF (441), Coralville, Iowa, USA Feb 12, 2008 Dark amber pour with with a nice dirty white head. Clove and dark fruit aroma. The flavor is a jumble of sweet dark fruits and malt with a nice bitterness to it. armando629 (954), Budapest, Hungary Feb 12, 2008 Updated: Sep 2, 2008Beautiful hazy dark amber color with a nice lacing beige head. Moderated aroma of caramell, vanilla and some banana. The taste is less than i expected, but great and balanced. Smooth mouthfeel with a little dry at first, caramel, some toffee and roasted malt a little alcohol and a good, mild bitterness. Liqueric aftertaste. malrubius (969), Valley Stream, New York, USA Feb 11, 2008 11.2 ounce bottle in generic goblet. Amber/red with lasting ring head. Brown sugar cherry aroma with faint alcohol. Brown sugar caramel sweetness with mild raisin fruitiness and lingering sugary sweetness combined with very mild bitterness. Medium body and carbo. Not as interesting as I remember, but a very nice mellow flavor.
