2.6 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
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.
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
(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.
3.1 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
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.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
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.
3.3 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
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.
2.9 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
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.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 12/20
A bit unusual - has some brett- and gueuze-like funky affectations and is sometimes explosively carbonated. Rather good though. Seems acidic.
