NachlamSie (1309), Tennessee, USA Jul 26, 2008 Bottle at the Fox and Parrot. Pours a muddy brown with no head. The aroma is certainly malt-heavy with suggestions of toffee, licorice, and some wood. The mouthfeel is creamy. The flavor hints at pleasant toffee, wood, apples, crisped rice chocolate bars, then bittersweetness develops in the finish. It’s something of a mix of dark chocolate and watered down Scotch. Pretty good drink. tarjei (1051), Bryne, Norway Jul 20, 2008 500 ml bottle, bought at Sainsbury´s, Newhaven. Dark ruby color, nice beige head. Aroma is dark/dried fruit and roasted/sweet malt. Flavor is the same, but also oak, some hoppy bitterness and a lovely sweetness. Very nice. Guinnessman (60), VACAVILLE, California, USA Jul 14, 2008 Nice dark color with a creamy head. Had the slightest hint of fruitcake. Rich flavor from the oak barrel it was fermented in. Great dessert beer. rkuhnel (980), Eureka, California, USA Jul 9, 2008 From a 500 ml bottle this poured a dark ruby color with large tan head and good lacing. Nose is ripe fruits and rich malts. Good rich mouthfeel. Flavor is of roasted malts, fruits, and spices. Woody and somewhat bitter finish. Tastes a little like madeira. wine, and was very good to drink. daniele (640), Italy Jul 9, 2008 scura non molta schiuma abbastanza persistente note fruttate maltate ossidazione in bocca ossidata leggera acidita fruttata legnosa
