2.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
Starts great: light caramel nose with molasses tones, walnut-brown color, sticky foamy head. Odde sweet malt taste, however, with a vegetable character. Gritty bitter end. Taste doesn’t match the nose and this went downhill quick in my book. Dissappointing.

Jan 2008: from BA. Another beer reviewed during a Belgian beer night at my daughters, bless her.
Cork and caged green .75 litre bottle, opened and poured by me. Best before 08/2009.
Lovely dark ambre brown in colour with a neat biege head.
The aroma and taste were the same, if you can believe that; fizzy, sweet, slightly bitter and dry.
Overal a very nice drink, but there are better versions of this style around, I’ll have another if the chance comes around that’s for sure.

Tap at Iron Horse. Fully, cloudy blood ruby color with smaller white head. Quick diminish. Ultra, super sweet raisin nose. Taste is painfully metallic with cloying raisin sweetness and tangy acid. Black olive juice abounds. Ick. Old keg probably. Poor tap lines and system here. Powdery and metal shavings. Ugh.
