COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
A singularly distinctive beer that represents our finest brewing efforts, Walker’s Reserve is an elegant dark ale featuring robust flavors of espresso, caramel and bittersweet chocolate. This wood-conditioned brew employs five specialty malts along with smooth silky oats for added complexity and flavor. Gentle English Goldings and spicy American Cascade hops together lend a perfect finish to this big, bittersweet ale. Somewhere between porter and stout, this unfiltered and bottle-conditioned beer is produced in small batches for the true connoisseur.

Bottled. A pitch black beer with a lazing brown beer. The aroma is sweet with notes of roasted malt and wood. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, chocolate, and some wood, leading to a dry and lightly bitter finish. Nice. Thanks Søren for sharing.

fiulijn (10421) - Como, ITALY - AUG 2, 2009
Blind tasting at Papsø’s
Black color. Light roasted malt aroma, very lightly cheesy. Medium body, but quite smooth; per se the flavor is not impressive, with just some roasted malt, but it has a quite good harmony and a light creamy impression. Quite good.
