Bottle. Sour caramel malt and alcohol aroma. Reddish brown color with moderate head. Toffee malt and astringent alcohol. Easy drinking - just not very complex.

At least it’s strong. I hated it. Smells like wank, and tastes like I would imagine wank to taste. Sorry not for me. Foul. Far too sweet and thick. Did not like it.

Appearance: Dark brownish red. Good amount of light brown head. Lots when warmer. Aroma: Malt and dark fruit. Bit of caramel and red wine(!). Taste: Quite strong, warming. Dark fruits, vinous. Slightly bitter. Info: 330ml bottle, 3/8-2007

Sweet malt atone fruit aroma. Clear red brown colour with great head and lacing. Sweet malt flavour with lots of stone fruit. Smooth palate. Would have this again! ;-)

This delicious beer pours an attractive deep amber colour with a medium sized vanilla head. IT has an initial sweet malted taste which finishes softly with caramel undertones.
