JoeMcPhee (3815), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Oct 31, 2007 25 cl bottle. Deep brown beer, completely clear with a thick beige head. Sweet toasted nut aroma with a soft plumminess as well. Some light caramel. The flavour is a bit chewy with a soft spiciness and some plummy flavour. A little bit floury on the palate. Metallic and dusty. Not a great example.
Allen (644), Wölflinswil, Switzerland Oct 3, 2008 Bottled 25cl. It pours a nut brown beer with a small beige head. Honey, candy, vegetables, caramel, cherries and metal in the nose. The alcohol is rather present. Gluey with hints of burnt sugar. Honey, caramel, vegetables, hay, brown sugar, wax and candy in the taste. Not much lacework. Sweet malty. Low bitterness. This beer reminds me a bit of vitamalt. Some dates sneaking in. Metallic. Unpleasant sticky components. A hint of onion in the finish.
