davidpl (393), Santiago, Chile Jul 20, 2008 Appearance: reddish brown color. Medium head of clear-beige color and with good retention.
Aroma: to caramel and roasted malts, dark sugar, butterscotch, ripe fruits like plums and fig and spicy hints of ginger and clove.
Flavor: sweet dark malts, caramel, toast, berries, plum and figs; sweet spiciness similar to ginger, cinnamon and clove. Progress with other notes similar to red-apples skin, candied fruits and multi-berries jam. Final lightly astringent, with lasting fruity-dryness and some slight eucalyptus notes. Sweet wine’s reminiscences.
Palate: light to medium body and semi-viscous texture. Low carbonation.
Remark: light unbalanced in the start, finally compensate. Some notes of complexity and character. Nice.
mike1977ok (358), Netherlands Jun 18, 2008 Dark red-brown colour. Flavour is far from unpleasant but doesn’t seem to have found the right balance. The texture is rather thin and gassy which doesn’t match well with the rich aroma with hints of aniseed and the complex malty then bitter taste.
