DiamondD (38), Sammamish, Washington, USA Nov 27, 2004 Pours a thick cloudy orangish brown with an medium off white head. Aroma
is rich, malty and a bit on the lagery side. Slightly skunky. I really like the taste of this one. Good balance. Not to mention the pine and spruce that really shine through. Body and palate are perfect for the ABV. Very good. All
those out there who are beer nuts like
myself and have been exposed too much to American ales, should really
step over to the Scottish and English
brews. heemer77 (4294), Savannah, Missouri, USA Nov 20, 2004 This pours a deep slightly cloudy red. A thin head stays on top. Aroma is a malty sweet orange with some pine. Also a floral quality to the nose. The taste is very sweet with granola and apples. Finishes with a nutmeg spice. Has a nice slightly dry finish, yet a slightly sweet aftertaste. A nice beer, but nothing get too excited about. mds (2112), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Nov 19, 2004 bottle. aroma of sweet berries, alcohol, and sweet malt. brown in colour with a tinge of orange/amber. full body. there is some pineyness to this, as well as being very sweet and alcoholic. sticky finish that lingers. Pretty good stuff! JadoreBlanche (114), London, Ontario, Canada Nov 16, 2004 Bottle: Pours a cloudy brownigh orage body with a minimal off white head. Aromas of malt and a slight sweet brown sugar smell. Has earthy smell but doesnt realyl smell like pine. Tatse is bitter sweet, and malty. Can tast molasses. Not a strong pine flavour present, but it is there. Watery finish, and bitter aftertaset. caledonian (367), Ottawa, Ontario, Canada Nov 14, 2004 Bottled. Cloudy orangish brown. Faint aroma of pine branch if you look for it. Sweet flavor, too mixed to get much in the way of distinct flavors. It’s alright. beerhugger (541), Oshawa, Ontario, Canada Nov 12, 2004 Nice forest-after-a-rain, whisky, sweet malt, some fruit aroma. Thin head on a rich coppery-bown beer. Sweet, woody flavours of berries and a slightly artificial feeling finish. Not bad. DeepBlack (387), Derby, Derbyshire, England Nov 8, 2004 Bought in the bottle from the excellent "Beers of Europe" shop near Kings Lynn.
A mid brown colour & a bit cloudy
With ingredients like Scots Pine & Spruce Sprigs I didn’t know what to expect, what I get from this beer is the taste of Jam, quite wrird but also quite nice.
Even my girlfriend quite liked this one :) MrManning (1634), London, Ontario, Canada Nov 3, 2004 Cloudy brownish/orange body with thin off-white head. Aroma of heavy malt, brown sugar, herbs, and pine as well.Tastes bitter-sweet, malty, molases. Watery finish, with some bitter notes.
