ekstedt (1785), Göteborg, Sweden Jul 9, 2008 Bottle (35 cl) from Ølbutikken. Hazy light copper with medium tan head. Nutty and fudgy malt aroma with some madeira notes, along with spicy and herbal hops. Medium bodied and smooth. Very well balanced.
ewestern (62), Ohio, USA Aug 13, 2008 Thin, barely off white head coverd a dark tan colored beer. Light scents of sweet fruit and hops. Flavor malts with a floral tinge to it. Slight carbonation and a bitter finish that reminds me of a Great Lakes brew. Praetorian (42), Los Angeles, California, USA Aug 13, 2008 pours amber-orange with a small, off whtie head with decent lacing and alcohol legs. The aroma is of hops, citrus, caramel and honey bunches of oats with a hint of rasins. Has a bitter flavor of hops and citrus with a hint of peaches. The texture was watery with a metallic finish. Not a bad beer, but nothing to write home about. BMan1113VR (762), Los Angeles (and Dallas, TX), California, USA Aug 13, 2008 Pours with a small, off-white head that goes. Clearish amber body. Aroma is sitrus hops, raisins, caramel, toasted malts and honey oats. Taste is watery malts with honey and an unconnected bitterness (hops) and what tastes like a hint of peach skins (but bitter instead of tart). A bit watery and metallic in the finish. A little light alcohol detectable towards the end. blipp (683), Grand Island, New York, USA Aug 9, 2008 Bottle. Pours copper with a beige head. Aroma is sweet caramel with hints of fruit. Flavor is a nice balance of caramel malt and grassy hops. Nice. jdjuice (202), Japan Aug 8, 2008 Copper with small head. Tastes kind of metallic and sweet. Quite malty at first, but slowly turns to nice smooth hops on the finish. Quite a solid beer.
