Skinnyviking (5472) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - APR 26, 2007
Bottle. Very high creamy and long lasting off-white head. Beautiful clear copper body. Lighly hopped barley malt aroma with a hint of spices. Heavyly carbonated but again only with little hops bitterness.

gnoff (4830) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - APR 24, 2007
(50 cl bottle from Systembolaget) Clear dark brown color, tan head. Sweet malty and sticky caramel scent. Strong alcohol taste, some burnt malt. A bit spritzy mouthfeel, medium bitterness.

onlyrocknroll (365) - Antwerp, BELGIUM - APR 24, 2007
UPDATED: APR 25, 2007 The aroma is malty with some alcohol but lacks potency. Quite subtle flavours, sweet with caramel notes. Surprisingly understated for its strength, could use a bit more character, but still a nice beer though.

raymondwave (931) - FINLAND - APR 22, 2007
Copperish color, huge head even tho I poured gently. Couldn’t detect much of the nose. A bit sweet and fruity, maybe marmalade. Exploding carb and full creamy mouthfeel (you gotta love the bottle conditioned). Malts, marmalade, fruits, a little earl gray maybe, not much bitterness and not too sweet. I really liked this. Alcohol did not push thru.

blueduk (118) - Eugene, Oregon, USA - APR 21, 2007
Pours clear reddish-brown with a medium bone-white foamy head. Aroma of fresh fruit (pear, melon, strawberry?). Hint of lemon-lime, but not a big hop nose. Wow, this is very sweet. Damn near cloying. Full-bodied and malty. Toffee, nutty, with dates or figs or something. Like a nut-brown ale on a sugar high. There’s a little acidity toward the end that drys things out, but no bitterness to speak of. Not sure quite what to make of this.

garthicus (2006) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - APR 18, 2007
A brown-tinted head, lovely amount of yeast in the bottomof the bottle which I ensured reached the glass! A definite alcohol aroma with a hint of apples, A real kick to the first sip, and the second, tapering out after the third, a golden colour and a positive alcohol taste, not bad, I doubt I could have any more than five in one sitting ***EDIT*** I had to drain pour it as my stomach could not take it, I have no idea why, my rating still stands and I will rate again at a later date to ensure

DruncanVeasey (4800) - NUNEATON, Conference North, Warwickshire, ENGLAND - APR 14, 2007
Attractive rubyish pour with thinning off-white head. Caramel maltiness with a distinct waft of leafy hop in the snout. More than a hint of Sarah Hughes Ruby Mild about this. Almost strawberryish English hop fruitiness with some mildly roasty bitterness in the finish. Not a hint of metal or booze. Better than expected.

DerWeg (1251) - Toronto, Ontario, CANADA - APR 13, 2007
A bit unusual - has some brett- and gueuze-like funky affectations and is sometimes explosively carbonated. Rather good though. Seems acidic.
