Hildigöltur (5056), København Ø, Denmark Mar 11, 2008 Bottled. Hazy dark amber coloured. with some strange and unpleasant black floaties. Malty caramel aroma. Sweetish bready malt and caramel flavour. Some fruity notes. Medium bodied. Not clean enough to be really good.
scooter_bub (198), Lander, Wyoming, USA Sep 7, 2008 1 quart & 1.8 oz bottle. Pours a cloudy amber-brown color with a nice, clingy, beige head that lasts for a while. Taste is of malt, hops, caramel and is on the sweet side. I am surprised that this is at 7% abv, because it hides it very well. I thought it would be around 5%. Very smooth and almost too easy to drink. Has a very nice mouthfeel, that is kind of sticky and the flavors tend to linger. The aroma is the same as the taste, but is fairly pleasant and quite noticeable. I’ll have to revisit this one later, but this is a pleasant beer that should be tried as it is a very enjoyable and drinkable brew. The_Beer_God (2859), Newport News, Virginia, USA Jun 7, 2008 Bottle from the Michael Jackson Rare Beer Club. Swing-top with red wax seal. Pours a still amber with only spotty large bubble. Nose is caramel, buttery biscuit, light spicy hops and fruit notes. taste is sweet and spicy. Spicy, earthy hops, sweet malts, caramel, hints of toffee and fruit. Body is light-medium and slick. Alcohol begins to show towards the end. The finish results in more sweet malty flavors, chewy caramel, spicy hops, ripe fruits, light toffee and some bready notes. redlight (1055), Winter Park, Florida, USA May 10, 2008 Good malty caramel nose, hints of grassy and light fruits. Pours a reddish amber with nice white head. Carmel malts, buttery, with a lot of grassy hops, caramelized apples, sweet with a dry bitter finish. Not bad for a marzen. Thomas_E (5065), Copenhagen, Denmark May 7, 2008 Hazy orange, amber colour with a small off white head. Sweet malty, light fruity aroma with a grassy note. Sweet fruity and vague hoppy flavor pint_size (1004), Austin, Texas, USA Apr 8, 2008 3-21-08 shared at tasting
Average ruby pour with no head at all really. Chunky sediment pour. Yeasty lemon smell. A hint on the watery side in the flavor. Smell and flavor don’t really match. Highly carbonated.
