Feb 14, 2006 Medium brown with an enormous rocky, off-white head. Heavgy, sweet aroma of pineapple and banana, along with a slight clove spiciness. Cloyingly sweet flavor of honey. Tiny bit of hoppy dryness in the finish is not hearly enough to balance the sweetness. Medium body, lots of carbonation.

Dec 20, 2005 ah good stuff light brown colour, small head hints of toffee/coffee, seemed a tad thin, but fairly good stuff

Dec 3, 2005 Retired? Whatever. Pours a thin brown body with a nice head. Aroma is malt dominated with caramel and toffee. Maybe a hint of bread. Flavor is the same and it’s pretty thin. Where are the hops? I still enjoyed it but it’s nothing exciting.

Oct 20, 2005 Hazy mahogany glow offering a vast off-white head. Sweet malty nose of mature berries, raisins and apples. Fruited dark malts linger along the roasty ones, procuring a nutty and brown sugar sweet feel that is taken aback by a considerable metallic side, contrasting with the sweet finish there while the little hop character there is stays shy and stale. Medium bodied, soft carbonation for DeGroens. Maybe not in top shape either.

Jul 30, 2005 This is okay. I kind of has a malty chocolatey finish and for some reason it was half the variety case (maybe they wanted to dump it before retiring it). Aroma has caramel and malt tones and the taste has the same with a wet finish to it. Its not a spectacular beer but I don’t mind drinking a lot of this one as there is nothing I find repellent here. I don’t detect the sourness that previous raters noted any where or any acidity. This must be a pretty good bottle. (Brewskies in East Stroudsburg)
