Blom (641), Odense, Denmark Apr 12, 2008 Brown with a low head. Sweet aroma and flavour of peach, plume, kiwi and banana, but the alcohol is overwhelming and there is too much yeast to really cut it for me.
scottw86 (97), New York, USA Aug 29, 2008 Poured a deep reddish brown with a full off-white head. Aroma was very rich, some fruity notes, as well as some bannana. Taste was very smooth, hints of apples and grapes. Finish was a bit sour. Very enjoyable. ahnakel (10), , Georgia, USA Aug 29, 2008 This beer was amazing, I think I have a new favorite. This was recommended to me by a friend. I will thank him. daknole (683), Plantation, Florida, USA Aug 24, 2008 bottle, and a helluva quad IMO. Reddish/brown pour with a light tan head. Aroma is all sugar, malt, syrup and dark fruit. Flavor is sweet and malty with a certain alcohol burn. Good stuff if taken in slowly. BrotherGrendel (135), San Diego (La Jolla), California, USA Aug 23, 2008 On tap at O’Brien’s.
Appearance is a clear dark red hue, dense layer of off-white foam, moderate lacing.
Smell is sugar and sweet fruits mostly, pear syrup dominates, cotton candy is in the mix too.
Taste is pears with a touch of raisins, some sweet malts and yeast in the middle, finishes with slight alcohol warming.
Mouthfeel is medium-bodied, watery texture, prickly carbonation.
Drinkability is fair, surprisingly pear-dominated quad, the alcohol is well-masked, quite light and fruity for the style. yalnikim (647), Wellington, New Zealand Aug 20, 2008 Tasted 20/08/2008. Prune, toffee apple and cola... with a big dose of alcohol perfume and a some herby medicinal notes. Drinkable but alcohol dominates a bit much and I’m left feeling that is is little more than an upmarket bus-stop beer.
