32clowns (19), USA Jul 19, 2007 Honey and oak flavored ale, very smooth and tasty. Vanilla and toffee flavor. recomended! mephisto (1144), Taiwan Jul 12, 2007 copper hue with beige head, it has a nice bready aroma with hint of caramel and chocolate. it is fruity and tasty. cyrenaica (435), Milton, Ontario, Canada Jul 7, 2007 I tried this on July 5, 2007 after purchasing it at my local LCBO store. It was a nice pretty clear bottle. The beer poured a coppery red colour into the glass with a 1 finger creamy white head that dissipated quickly to leave a little trace on top. The smell was rather foul to say the least....almost sour. The mouthfeel is crisp and slightly thick with an idea level of carbonation. The taste is good with some hints of malt and fruit (although I can’t place the sweetness off-hand). matt7215 (943), Cambridge, Ontario, Canada Jul 5, 2007 Updated: Dec 21, 2008330ml bottle. pours amber with little white head that quickly dissapears. aromas of vanilla, oak barrel, malt, scotch whisky and sweetness. flavours are the same as these things combine into a perfect balance of smooth complexity. this beer is fantastic and never lets you down.

What the heck have they done to this? Butter, mustard, cabbage. Quite acidic. This is rank.

330ml bottle (Mallaskukko, Turku)
Rich amber, small head. Vanilla, oak, malt, butter, whisky, ... Oh screw it, words cannot describe this beer, it’s just so mellow and smooth and warm and inviting. Beautiful. Maria (6056), Thisted, Denmark Jul 1, 2007 Warm amber and a nice, golden head. The aroma has notes of vanilla and freshly chipped oak. The flavour has the same notes and a sweetness and a note of tannic acid and citrus. The sweetness and vanilla is a biit too dominant for me. Quack-Duck (3132), Bodensee/Schwarzwald, Germany Jun 29, 2007 bottle. Copper colour, tiny head. Smoky and malty nose. Malty beer with lots of flavours, especiall flavours reminiscent of whisky, caramel, honey, roasted malt an vanilla. Very complex brew, but highly enjoyable. beerbill (1920), Laurel, New York, USA Jun 23, 2007 Bottle. Honey colored is appropriate. Pours clear with a thin, white, soapy head that disappeared in about a minute. The aroma was light but pleasant with notes of toffee and oak. The flavor was subtle and quite nice with vanilla, toffee and oak all present. A touch of scotch whiskey flavor at the finsh with some very light warming as well. Very easy to drink with a smooth, full mouthfeel. Enjoyable.
