Apr 23, 2008 Updated: Aug 31, 2009500mll Bottle-Dark amber/chestnut in colour with a small head. The aroma is malty with a sweet citric element. Rich, bitter taste with malt and grapefruit being detected. This beer is not one which I have been too impressed with in the past, but this is really enjoyable. Very well balanced for the strength and a tasty drop!

Apr 21, 2008 bottle- yum. deserving of the hype. Really nice balanced somewhat spicy flavors. A robust and full bitterness complemented by floral hops and graham like malt. A classic.

Apr 18, 2008 Nice dark amber color, quickly dissipating head. Palate is rather lacking, flavor is a strong malty caramel with citrus aromas. Overall, a delicious ale.

Apr 16, 2008 Bottle. Pours a nice copper color with a one finger head that disappears quickly and leaves little lacing. Aroma is rather metallic, with a hint of malt and hops mixed in. Taste is completely different from the smell... a nice toasted malt up front with a tart clean finishing hoppyness in the rear, but still a bit of a metallic taste to it as well. It has medium body, a nice tangyness, a slight bite, and a clean non sticky finsih. A solid beer but the metallic taste is kind of weird... I’ll have to try another to find out if it has the same taste.

Apr 15, 2008 Bought a case from a local retailer. Pours a nice clear amber color with a light head. Very crisp, dry, and drinkable. The finish is slightly bitter. Excellent beer.

Apr 12, 2008 Updated: Sep 21, 2008(Sample from July 28, 2006 Beer Club Meeting; on tap at Dog & Duck, April 11, 2008; on tap at Tap Room on September 20, 2008) Out of the tap and into a pitcher, this beer had an amazing head. Poured gorgeously into our pint glasses. Awesome lacing, every time. Beautiful dark amber color. This puppy is smooth. Not over-flavored, or under. A little bitter, but just enough. Musky. A piece of work. Thin, but thick. No pungent aftertaste like some ESBs. A slick and satisfying drink with a subtle richness.

Apr 12, 2008 Poured a rich mahogany color with medium head. Rich earthy malt aroma. Taste is smooth with hints of caramel and toffee. A well balanced beer that I enjoyed and would buy again.

Apr 12, 2008 Bouteille de 500 ml. Arômes très invitants de malt caramélisé et de houblon floral. Robe cuivrée, peu effervescente. Il s’agit d’une bière très maltée, qui déborde de caramel. Le houblon est juste assez présent pour équilibrer le côté sucré et créer une bière bien équilibrée et qui se boit bien.
