mmahut (107) - CZECH REPUBLIC - MAY 22, 2013
Pours in dark ruby body with creamy persistent head. Aroma is nutty, dried raisins. Body is thin, light with fair carbonation. Bitter after-taste is caramely, with dark sugar notes. Little bit of high alcohols in the taste.

Quack-Duck (6811) - Down South, GERMANY - APR 25, 2013
bottle with thanks to Cuso! Hazy amber-brown colour, off-white head. Full-bodied, biter sweet with a grainy malty base and lots of resiny-grassy hop flavours, shy herbal accent in the background.

coldbrewky (1319) - Hippetown East, New York, USA - APR 14, 2013
Bottle via Cuso in trade. Aroma of hops, grain and tea leaves. Pouts a bright brown. Average head and no lacing left as it settles. body is on the lighter side of medium. Hops abound upfront and then fade a bit, letting the malts thru. Stronger rye tone takes over about 30% thru and rides nicely till nutty finish. Strangely the hops were strong upfront and faded to a low central tone. Very nice with dinner.

[Thanks to Cuso]. Bottled. Dark rubi colour with an off-white head, good duration and an average lacework. Aroma is light hoppy, with toasted hints, vinous and caramel. Flavor is bittery, with fruity and toasted notes, light caramel and red fruits. Final with a decent and long bitterness.

rosenbergh (4655) - Helsinki, FINLAND - FEB 20, 2013
330 ml bottle. BB ??. From Cuso. Vďaka!
The colour of this IPA is rather dark reddish brown with some small off-white head. The aroma is quite moderate with some sweetness, (darkish) fruits, citrus, malt and subtle bitterness. The flavour is also moderate. Some sweetness, fruits, sweetish malt, mild bitterness and notes of mint and herbs. Balanced and smooth. Nice not-overhopped IPA.

Bottle. Aroma roasted and caramel malts, light hops, cappuccino. Colour is clear ruby-brown. Taste is bitter hops, light caramel, grapefruit sourness, very light wood. A bit astringent. Finish is a dry mix between roasted malt and hops. Not exactly my taste, otherwise OK.
