thedm (3407), Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA Aug 29, 2008 This bottled brew from West Lakeview Liquors in Chicago had a corked marked 2007. It poured a very large sized head of mostly diminishing tan colored finely sized bubbles that left behind a transparent dark red brown softly colored body and a thick foamy lacing. The aroma was nice with chocolate malty notes. The mouth feel was mild at the start with a slightly stronger dark malty finish. The flavor was smooth and on the thin carbonated side with mild chocolate and brown malts.
fonefan (5547), Ulfborg, Denmark Nov 16, 2008 <b>Bottle 75cl. @ TFODRBSG 2008, Ulfborg, Denmark</b><br />Bottle #708. Light unclear medium amber brown color with a average, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, light beige head. Aroma is moderate to heavy malty, roasted, chocolate. Flavor is moderate sweet and bitter with a average to long duration, and a dry finish. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft to flat. (230808) Walt (2291), Chicago, Illinois, USA Oct 17, 2008 Pour is light brown with a big and big bubbled tan head...smell is light and quite fruity...surprisingly not very roasty...notes of wet ashtray...taste is brightly fruity with berries, like scraff said...very earthfruity... scraff (1703), Baltimore, Maryland, USA Oct 12, 2008 Deep brown, off white creamy head. Cocoa berry and raisin nose warms to soft swirls of brown sugar. Dark fruit and roasted cocoa flavors ride hints of overripe plum and coffee. Medium bodied, moderate carbonation, bittersweet finish. Well made… yngwie (3762), Kristiansand, Norway Sep 30, 2008 Bottle, 75cl corked, thx to fonefan. Pours a dark amber, unclear body with a nice beige head. Coffee, roasted malt, some chocolate and a little burnt note in the aroma. The flavor is very much the same, but also has some nice dried fruits and a coffee-like bitterness. Still it feels one-dimentional, strange. Full-bodied, dryish and with a nice level of carbonation. Sure pleasant. (080823) Papsoe (11076), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 29, 2008 (Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Hazy orangey brown with a small off-white head. Hard roasted malt aroma. Good body with sweetish roasted malt - somewhat vinous. A light fruitiness also while the bitterness is very discreet. 230808
