AmEricanbrew (1747), Louisiana, USA Jan 9, 2008 75 cl. bottle pours a massive head if yer not careful. Dark, ruby- brown color. Has a subtle bread and butter smell. Very nice smooth, creamy mouthfeel. Pretty mild flavor of nine grain bread with a mild, citrusy hop bite to finish. A well balanced brew, but too mild in the flavor department.
Maria (6056), Thisted, Denmark Jan 6, 2008 This is a rather young version. It’s mahogany with a nice head and lace. The aroma has notes of caramel, fruit and aroma hops. The flavour has light sweetness, caramel, fruit, citrus and a nice hoppy bite in the finish. A charming beer indeed. Miksu (2194), Jyväskylä, Finland Dec 31, 2007 0.33 l bottle. Slightly hazy reddish brown color with thick head. Fruity, perfumed and toffeish aroma with notes of vanilla and alcohol. Toffeish, caramelly and yeasty flavor with dry woody spiciness. Dry spicy bitter finish. Kind of muddy. Delirium (495), Santa Cruz, California, USA Dec 31, 2007 Draught. Pours dark brown/black with a moderate off-white head. Aroma is toffee, Belgian-style yeast, and a hint of spice. Flavor is moderately sweet toffee malt, rather like a brown ale with a bit more complexity and the distinctive Belgian yeast character---maybe a Belgian analog to an Old Ale. Pretty good. Arayaga2 (933), Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 29, 2007 Semi-opaque brown with a speckled tan head. Metallic hop smell within a fizzy effervescent fog of indistinct aroma. Taste is dry with a cidery edge and light tartness that attends such high carbonation. Finishes cleanly with a residual tingle on the tongue PhillyHomeBrew (176), Forest Hills, New York, USA Dec 29, 2007 opaque brown body with avey nice thick white head. There is quite a bit of citrus-lemon and lime. There is also a yeast smell and a little bit of a root beer aroma. The flavor is actually pretty light with some nutty flavors and some cinnamon. This is pretty dry tasting but has a bit of a lingering sweetness- strange. daniellerose7 (119), new york, New York, USA Dec 28, 2007 Mmmm YUMMY! On tap at the BURPCASTLE! Tasty chocolate mocha! Deep brown and fizz-ay! MM! badbeer (432), Iowa, USA Dec 23, 2007 Ruby red when held to light, with a soft head that leaves a ring around glass and a spotty lacing. Immediate smell of iron with smells of bread and a slight hint of plum is hidden in there as well. Yeasty, a bit of iron, nuts, clove, dark fruit, and toffee in the taste. Light on the tongue, medium body and medium carbonation. It was an alright beer, but I don’t think I’ll be buying this again.
