It’s smoother. Amber in color and retains little head. It has a nice medium-body with a clean finish (on nitro) and is fairly malty sweet. Emil (6074), Copenhagen, Denmark

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Apr 17, 2007 2006 bottle, courtesy of tpkenned. Semi-hazed and rosy brown in color with a well laid, retaining tan café frothed head. Aroma sings of sweet dusty dates, braded fig chews, brown sugared mulberry and toffee careened by supporting citric hop zest. Flavor wheels in with nut laden fig rolls and fancy Christmas desert rolls. Hop flavors gallop to give some melted cherry toffee flare. Citric zests pralines and dates for a wintertime duet while burgundy drips on pumpernickel bread. A medium-bodied palate presence is shared with red currant, weaving through toffee-centered grahams and a minor glimpse of red licorice, which pokes out of rye loafs for a nutty, clean and citric accented bitterness to dry into the finish.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Mar 31, 2007 Bottle thanks to Brad (Gokart) on the Southern Cal Audi TT Forum. Pours a hazy chestnut with deep red highlites and supports a tall and rocky off white head. Grassy, fruity and malty aroma. Rich malty flavor but with plenty of hops to keep the complex flavors in a tight envelope. Hints if spice, pepper and a touch of bittersweet chocolate. Long, sweet finish and firm texture. The spice profile isn’t as aggressive as expected for traditional winter seasonals but that just makes this offering a great year-round pour.
