2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20
Very good looking dark ruby color with large disappearing head. Aroma had strong fruit, malt, and alcohol notes. Flavor was pretty bad. Alcohol was very evident, as well as a sharp bitter taste some here are calling metallic. I drank about half, but couldn’t force the rest of it.
3.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 17/20
Bottle. Little in the way of aroma. Large frothy/fizzy off-white head with good lacing. Bottle conditioned, sparkling amber color. Moderately sweet with lots of almost fruity flavors. I liked the complexity of flavors, that I unfortunately couldn’t quite place.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20
This beer reminded me a lot of Duvet, except that it was more like Duvet’s younger, retarded brother. Thick white lacing head. Smells of sweet fruit and strong alcohol. Intense metallic taste to complement the fruity alcoholic taste. Not very drinkable.
2 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle Beautiful copper pour with almost no head. Light caramel malt aroma and a pretty bad flavor. Smooth, but aftertaste is horrid. Very disappointed. Almost drain pour, but trying to hold on.
