Oakes (6853), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Nov 28, 2000 Complex, malty, fruity. Nice pint. argo0 (6176), Washington DC, USA Aug 10, 2003 (WCC2003) Clear copper body with small tan head. Aroma is caramel, malty, peaty. Taste is malty, light caramel, light sweet, peaty, finishing light smoky. Medium body. fiulijn (5860), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Dec 13, 2001 Cloudy dark amber ale, creamy head. Nice malt aroma, strong malt flavour, like a barley wine, full bodied. Good final. Rastacouere (5270), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Apr 26, 2004 Dark brown hue with a small head. This is probably 2 years old or so though so I didn't expect much head. Aroma is fairly typical to the style. Quite sweet full on the malt, caramelic with vanilla undertones and good earthy peat notes. More of the same in mouth with a restrained alcohol feel. A rounder body would make it a top example, but as it stands now, it's just a pleasant and well-made beer. Still in decent shape and just a slight hint of acidity indicates this is certainly not going to improve anymore. RIP. Bov (4623), Bienne, Switzerland Nov 4, 2002 red-amber colour, big head, deep licorice and rum aroma, prune, alcohol, very smooth, sweet with a late robust bitterness
