the best beer I’ve tried so far. I recon it as the eggnog of beers. so if you don’t like eggnog don’t even think about trying this. I can’t say enough good things about this beer. don’t let the bad reviews keep you from trying it.

Et flatt tørt øl. Lite lukt. Ikke så mue smak eller ettersmak. Greit øl men ikke noe favoritt.

Large, fizzy crown with caramel aroma. Somewhat creamy texture, but the taste is still dry and quite bitter. Hints of caramel and tropical fruits.

dnicolaescu (99) - Chișinău, MOLDOVA - MAY 15, 2013
Head: off-white, big, frothy, avg. retention. Colour: dirty amber-brown, clear. Aroma: quite weak, caramel, bit roasty, some acidic vinous notes. Taste: caramel, moderate hop bitterness. Dry bitter smoky hop finish. Not too intense, but not watery either. A decent session beer.

Metallic aroma, slightly roasted. Clear Dark Brown, with a rocky White foam. Oily texture, with a nearly nonexisting carbonation. A software bitter aftertaste

Nice beer. Sweet with caramel and red fruit in both aroma and taste. Dry finish. Prefer this any time over Guiness.

Flaska från Systembolaget. Mörk grumlig vätska. Avslagen med en läskig surhet i smaken. Huvva!

Imaena (841) - Atlanta, Georgia, USA - MAY 10, 2013
Draught. This is a pretty bad Irish ale that lacks depth and flavor.

Argonian (133) - Athens, GREECE - MAY 4, 2013
On tap. Dark red body, with a low creamy head that diminishes slowly, leaving a good lace. Smells nothing, tastes only bitter. No aftertaste. Medium to full bodied, low carboation level, watery texture. Average and overpriced here.
