Ughsmash (3082), Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA Apr 29, 2006 On tap at Hopleaf. Poured a deep hazy brown with a short layer of beige head. Nose carried an abundance of darker malts... brown sugar, toffee, and some toasty fruits. Smooth toasty brown sugar, darker fruits, and other dark malts in the flavor. Lower carbonation provided a cola-like feel... felt just OK. Sweet, toasty, malt finish. Nice brew, but nothing spectacular.
janir (179), Oulu, Finland Oct 7, 2008 Color is deep ruby brown. Pours with lacy, foamy but vanishing head. Aroma is malty, yeasty, fruity. Mild, sweet malty flavor is syrupy and metallic with sweet yeasty finishing. Palate is medium-bodied and quite much, foamy carbonated. 196osh (2), Kilmarnock, Scotland does not count Oct 4, 2008 A bottle. Dark attractive looking beer. Nice chocolate like flavours, not overpowering or very complex, Very drinkable. JCB (1069), Durham, North Carolina, USA Oct 4, 2008 Draft at the Brickskeller, D.C. Very cloudy pour, with a surprising degree of carbonation. Nothing oily about the mouthfeel, but rather a crisp and effervescent body. Very drinkable, modestly fruity, but not terrifically distinctive. EFC1878 (86), Manchester, Greater Manchester, England Oct 1, 2008 Bottle. Deep ruby/brown in colour with lively tan head. Rich, fruity, chocolate malt aroma with orange in the background. Flavour is more chocolate leading to a nice, surprising dry finish. Rich body. Wonderfully balanced beer. Flamojune (46), Québec, Quebec, Canada Sep 30, 2008 Peut etre meilleur que la blonde. Belle couleur brune, belle mousse. Un peu plus sucré que la blonde, tres fort...
