judasbeer (230), Budapest, Hungary Oct 17, 2009 Pours transparent nut brown color with tiny beige head. Aroma of toffee with some spices.
Flavor is quite one dimensional with sweet caramel and nutty tones.
Slightly spicey, neutral finish. Smooth, medium body with moderate carbonation. Just as industrial and unexciting as expected. Worth one try, but nothing more IMO. Niko100 (82), New York, USA Oct 16, 2009 Updated: Oct 29, 2009Dark brown color; Medium slightly creamy body; Aroma of roasted malt & spice; Flavor of sweet malt, lots of caramel, some spice; Nothing complex here - but I did enjoy this one. TheDutchman (18), Louisiana, USA Oct 14, 2009 I love this beer. Regardless of its commercial availibilty I think it is a fantastic brew. I poured this into an English Pint it had a rich caramel color and a thin white head. Slightly bitter on the palate the overall taste was of light malt with just a touch of biscuit, caramel and nut. Very refreshing on the palate with just the right amount of "beer" patrickfannon (274), Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 12, 2009 Bottle. 12 oz. Pours murky brown, with a foamy, beige head. Aroma of malt, walnuts, and hints of spice. Medium body with a moderate, smooth finish. Decent brown ale. Recommended for reasonable price and sentimental attachment. TreborWhip (68), Reading, Pennsylvania, USA Oct 12, 2009 Can poured into a pint glass at Penny Hog Tavern in Hamilton, Bermuda. Light tan head that produced nice lacing. Body was a nice amber. A very light, somewhat malty taste with slight hint of fruitiness. Smooth and pleasant. ogreface (292), Budapest, Hungary Oct 9, 2009 Mély,vörösesbarna szín,gyorsan összeeső fehér hab.Illata kicsit mogyorós,karamellás.Íze először enyhén édeskés aztán átmegy kellemes diós,kesernyésbe.Teste közepesen vizes,utóíze keserédes,száraz érzetet kelt a szájban.Könnyen iható,kellemes társasági sör. KyotoLefty (1371), Kyoto, Japan Oct 8, 2009 Bottle.
Deep amber color, good, medium fine, lacy head. Sour aroma, some malt, a touch of fruit. Light malt flavor, touch of sour flavor and caramel, and bitter hops. Quite dry, with just a touch of sweetness. Thin on malt. Dry, slightly hoppy, finish. Ok, but not too interesting overall.
killjoy966 (215), Washington, USA Oct 7, 2009 This used to be my favorite beer (back in my pre-Ratebeer days). Doesn’t smell all too good. Looks, well, brown but clear, clean. Tastes slightly nutty and watery. Works as a decent stand-by but not enough malty goodness to hold a candle to micro browns.
