3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 Strykzone (3135) - Wood River, USA - FEB 4, 2012
Bomber. Kind of looks like a brandy. It is clear darker cherry brown. A creamy beige head that ends in a ring. The nose is not big and I smell fruit, anise, and chocolate. Some roasted notes, too. This is unique. It is somewhat bitter and that is probably from the orange peel. Cooked brown sugar, fruit, anise, and cough syrup. Throw in a bit of cocoa, and wheat. Mid way through I notice that it has become more like a dunkel. The pomegranate makes this style defying, though. It also makes it sour and a bit unpleasant, especially at the finish.

Bottle shared by nuplastikk...thanks Greg! - Pours brown with a thin light tan head. Nose is agave syrup and sticky sweet tropical fruit. No hopping. Tastes is lots of melon and tropical fruit, with a ton of syrupy sweetness. Again no hoppiness, and just too sweet. Slick and not too carbonated. An odd beer, but fun to try.

Flaske: Brunrød klar øl med et fint skumhoved. Duften er let sødlig krydret, brown agtig. Smagen er syrlig meget interessant. Krydret med en del bitterhed til sidst til at binde det sammen. Meget interessant øl.
