Jan 1, 2009 Thanks retorp for the share. Very enjoyable beer. Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Nose is malt, rose hips, ripe fruit, floral hops, and some alcohol. Flavor is similar with malt, hops (citrus), spice, and apple. Great malty surprise. I would seek this one out next time.

Dec 31, 2008 Has a strong, malty aroma with a fruity overtone, mainly apple, so it smells more like fruit juice than beer. Pours a very appetizing translucent cola brown with a very thick, fluffy, light tan head that sticks around for a bit. Flavor is malty with a rather strong alcohol bite and a firm undertone of hops, along with hints of caramel and cinnamon. Texture is very smooth and just a little bit syrupy, leaving a tingly finish that is edgy and hop-bitter but just a tad sweet.

Dec 31, 2008 Bottle courtesy of Retorp. Pours a slightly hazy amber with a one finger off-white head that leaves good lacing. Aroma of caramel and sweet malt with citrus and floral hops in the finish. Taste is the same as aroma. Medium mouthfeel with a mild to moderate amount of bitternes and smooth alcohol. Good.

Dec 21, 2008 The bottle poured deep, resiny amber with tan orange tinted head settling after a couple minutes. I think it sort of smells like dried apricots steeped in brandy sort of winey but very earthy damp and alcoholic. The flavor is incredibly malty toasty bread crust bitterness caramel sweetness and a bit of a metallic acidity. The palate is full bodied slightly syrupy with a lingering finish. It is big and bold for sure. It tastes like the whole bottle should be poured into a huge mug and carried by a viking while pillaging around a bonfire. Oye!
