mds (2111), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 12, 2005 bottle. murky orange-brown with little specks of yeast sediment and a long-lasting rocky off-white head. full complex yeasty aroma - notes of sweet banana, prunes, raisins, and chocolate. this beer is very rich and takes a long time to drink, though I’m not saying that’s a bad thing! smooth creamy body. sweet cereal/oat and yeast flavours with lots of fruit essence and spice. alcohol is felt throughout but isn’t overwhelming at all. the finish has some bittersweet chocolate and stays with you for a while. superb stuff. I’ll have to pick up more bottles.

amber fizzy fruity bit sour tickling in the mouth alcohol presents esters pleasant aftertaste. FatPhil (2063), Espoo, Finland Aug 11, 2008 330ml bottle (One Pint, Helsinki)
Cloudy orange, small head. huge estery aroma, a little gluey. Alcoholic and fizzy palate. Rich malty body, a little bit of rubber. Heady - winey and a little alcoholic, but spookily pleasant. Too much alcohol, but otherwise a lovely brew. acearl (171), Elkins Park, Pennsylvania, USA Aug 10, 2008 Bottle, oragnish, lighter than I had anticipated, there was a citrus sour or bitter after taster which was not expected and overall I did not really like all that much.
