changeup45 (530), Orlando, Florida, USA Apr 12, 2008 Poured a nice dark brown amber tinted body with a medium sized tan head. Adequate amount of lace but I wouldn’t say it was a lot. The aroma is hard to detect. It’s malty and maybe a little woody as well. Not strong. The flavor is not as rich as the look, more malty than hoppy but both are there. The finish is slightly hoppy and dry. mcox90 (302), Wilton, New Hampshire, USA Feb 28, 2008 12 oz. bottle. Pours a clear cola color with small head and minimal lace. Nose is slightly malty with nuts. Flavor is mild caramel, malts, nuts & vanilla bean. Smooth easy drinking beer, albeit not very exciting. DragonStout (1141), Orlando, Florida, USA Feb 6, 2008 Pours a translucent cola color with a small head.Aroma has some malts on it and a slight nut undertone.A real smooth easy drinking beer.Nothing special here.The finish had not log lasting effects. RblWthACoz (959), Brooklyn, New York, USA Feb 4, 2008 Pours a crystal clear brown with minimal crème head. Nose is unusual. A part of me wants to say it smells like the butter that amasses in those bags of microwave popcorn. I take a more observant whiff and it seems like those Danish cookies you always get in the cans at Christmas time. Apparently I am all about the snacks today. Flavor is tangy, and a bit too much so. Has some hearty and earthy aspects, but that zing just overpowers it too much I say. Good feel, but a bit thin. Overall this is decent at best I have to say. Well made, yes. But the almost citric tang that yells a bit too loud just doesn’t do it for me and ends up killing the experience. bigrond (847), factoryville, Pennsylvania, USA Dec 27, 2007 this is a nice dark, sweet beer. It’s very smooth and slides down your throat effortlessly. A real good beer. I wish the alcohol content were available, but I belive it’s fairly low. If I find it pushes the 6-7% area I’ll come back and raise my overall rating. til then ....3.1 it is.
