dagimp (600) - Philly, Pennsylvania, USA - MAY 17, 2013
Only wish this was fresher. Bottle from the brewery purchased about 6 weeks ago. No date. Clean grassy aroma. Dark pour with little white head. Mouthfeel is very light and crisp. Easily drinkable. Taste is cappuccino, mint, grass, lemon, and green grapes. Very good this is. Only wish it was fresher and it could be great. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Bit hazy dark brown almost black with medium off white head. Lacing. Aroma.. roasted malts, hops, pine, citrus. Sweet with decent bitterness. Good balance, quite interesting and drinkable, but something lacks to say that I liked it a lot

yngwie (10761) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - MAY 11, 2013
Bottle, 22oz. It pours a dark brown body, almost clear, and topped by a dense, finger-thick beige head. Roasted nose with pine cones, some licorice and a lightly spiced, peppery touch. The flavor has a nice bitterness and the same spices touch found in the aroma, as well as roasted malts as a backdrop for the piney, bitter hoppyness. Full body with some warmth. Some roasted malts, but mostly bitterness in the end. A nice one indeed, tasteful and sort of easy drinkable. 121005

wlajwl (2912) - Quad Cities, Iowa, USA - APR 25, 2013
Aroma is chocolate/dark/earthy malts and an undercurrent of citrus. The flavor is chocolate, dark malts, mild earthiness, citrus, mildly tart and the bitterness showing up in the finish. Much more balanced in the malts than expected and that is rare in that it is a good thing because so many mess it up, this was a great ale.
