Haslinger (640), Syracuse, New York, USA Sep 22, 2009 12 ounce bottle. Very nice malty aroma which mellowed into some robust hops taste. Incredibly good aftertaste. The hops stuck around in your mouth. Great oldno7 (135), Spokane, Washington, USA Sep 22, 2009 Not a lot of aroma, but the flavor and pallate of this beer made it very enjoyable. With notes of caramel, malts, hops, mandarin, pine and maybe a little chipotle in the aftertaste. Overall a very good beer ! (Not as good as Mac & Jacks African though) baraciisch (138), USA Sep 20, 2009 Red orange in color... Aroma is incredibly complex, sweetness of caramel, notes of citrus and piney hops is incredibly prevalent... Flavor is sweet caramel malts with amazing spicy hop character ... Freaking amazing... Papsoe (14642), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 17, 2009 Bottle 35,5 cl. Unclear dark amber with tiny impurities and a creamy and lacing beige head. Aroma of caramel and spicy hops. Medium body, sweet caramel and fruit with a solid hoppiness. 170909 yobdoog (1426), Woodridge NY, New York, USA Sep 16, 2009 I really like this one. Was a go-to for a bit. Dark amber color with a fluffy head. Aroma has some great hops, some pine and sweet caramel and a faint earthyness. Flavor is big and hoppy with lots of pine and malts and biscuits. A little burnt toast for a little bitter roast. Very hoppy and nice. MI2CA (1260), Noblesville, Indiana, USA Sep 15, 2009 12oz - Aroma is loaded with caramel and finishes with resinous pine hops. Flavor is big and balanced with the malt and hops equally sharing the spotlight. Palate is chewy and tart. A tasty brew. Travlr (700), Washington, Washington DC, USA Sep 13, 2009 Last of the keg at Pizzeria Paradiso in Dupont Circle. Dark clear brown with enormous tan head. Very malty, very thick and almost chewy. Tastes like maltomeal with hops. Slight spice. Very nice. Cavie (1317), Fort Worth, Texas, USA Sep 6, 2009 Bottle courtesy of Fratto. Pretty red pour, clear with little head. Hopped aroma with some musty elements. Also has sweet notes. Taste is dry and spiced. Has some red notes as well. Different for sure.
