Miksu (1293), Jyväskylä, Finland May 3, 2008 0.33 l bottle. Ruby color with medium beige head. Mild aroma with caramel, licorice and some fruity esters. Sweet worty, malty and toasty flavor with dark fruits, fruity esters and phenols in the background. Sweet and syrupy flavors mask the fermentation characteristics and makes this one dimensional.
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...
