copper orange color, nice amount of foamy white head, nose is malt and some fruits, big caremel malts also kinda nutty with some decnt hop finish

UPDATED: OCT 13, 2009 500 ml bottle. pours copper with a good sized tan head. pugent hoppy aromas give way to smokey burnt malts as it warms. complex with some sharpness to it. not for a novice but very enjoyable. a touch to thin or it would have scored big.

500 ml bottle, from bar on P Deilmann Cruises river boat. Pours copper color, clear with a large whitish head. Rich malty aroma, caramel, light notes of molasses and spring flowers. Intial blast of toasty, fruity and caramelly malts, followed quickly by a bracing bitterness, a bit of roastiness and bright floral and herbal notes, but a little unbalanced overall. Medium body, fine, crisp carbonation.

Pours a nice dark orange/pale amber colour with small off-white head and pleasant toffee fruity nose. The aroma is toasted malt and toffee with notes of nuts and fruits. Quite nice brew.
