chadzter (94), huntsville, Alabama, USA May 13, 2006 12 btl. Color has a dark brown with red hue a a nice size head. Strong nutty tast and smooth bread malty with a touch of cinnamon. Nice lacing to the glass. Overall I enjoy this beer. rdawson321 (145), USA May 8, 2006 Ruby and gold with a HUGE head on it. The head lasts the whole glass. Tastes of grapes and nuts, with a bready maltiness. Maybe a little plum in there too. Quite a good beer. waolsen (1220), Littleton, Colorado, USA May 8, 2006 tap. brewery. amber with thin bubble head. cinnamon, spice and malt aroma. spicy belgium amber. great. Saarlander (1577), Saarlouis, Germany May 7, 2006 A nice brew, nuts, fruity, but seems like its missing abit, maybe I just wish it was a heavier flavor. Easy drinking. Thanks to tjthresh for the bottle! schwaiger (90), Laramie, Wyoming, USA May 6, 2006 Draught at brewer. Poured a deep amber with an off-white head. Nice lacing. Dominant nose of tobacco. Truly smells like the walk-in humidor at your local cigar shop. Maybe some notes of leather there too. Flavor of tobacco and toasted pumpkin seeds. Wish I had taken more notes on this one as it is quite an intriguing ale. Bought two cases, so perhaps I’ll adjust these comments after I crack a few more. bigbish (137), Colorado, USA May 6, 2006 A nice chestnut brown. Flavor has some banana, plum, and lots of malt. Very fruity nose. Medium bodied with good carbonation. A great drink. kramer (2407), Sunbury, Pennsylvania, USA May 4, 2006 12 oz bottle, via BA swid. Pours a clear chestnut brown with a two finger off-white head that settled to a thin film. Nice fruity ester filled aroma with banana bread, light toffee, some nuttiness, and a very light yeastiness. Flavor is fruity with lots of bananas and various dark fruits. Moderate alcohol and toffee on the finish. Medium bodied with spritzy efforvescent carbonation. Finish is slightly sticky. Not bad overall, but it could use a little thicker body and a little more yeast character. BeerPrince (1701), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada May 3, 2006 Ruby brown with a thin tan head. Aroma of candied sugar, grapes and some bready malts. Tastes quite sweet and malty with some nutty overtones. Noticeable yeast throughout.
