dpjuart (670), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Nov 18, 2007 750 ml split with ’Naka. Brown with amber tones, nice thick off white head. Nose os nice and malty, good lacing. Hint of honey. Taste is malty with touch of brown sugar, crisp hopness, but very subtle at the beginning and diminishing to a nice complex bread/biscuit aftertaste. Touch of tart in there. This is highly drinkable. Seems to be a good breakfast beer. Cybercat (776), Georgia, USA Nov 17, 2007 It comes out of the bottle a rich transparent reddish-brown with a fairly thick tan head. Aroma is nice and malty, not too strong. Flavor is strong and mouth-filling, malty, smoky, a little peaty with just a touch of sweetness, like molasses. Very smooth but with a little bit of a bite. redlight (1445), Winter Park, Florida, USA Nov 16, 2007 thanks to ian for this one! Caramelly malty aroma with a strong sign of anise in the aroma.
