Ughsmash (5631) - Waukesha, Wisconsin, USA - APR 8, 2009
750mL bottle, 2005 vintage. Poured fiery reddish-orange wih a coating, well-retained cap of tan head. The aroma picked up dark fruits and dry banana bread with peppery spices, orange peel, and green herbs around.. thick yeasty impression with lesser spice on the back of the nose.. very good! The flavor had a soft bready and dark fruity base surrounded by a great array of spices and heavy yeast.. orange peel, cardamom, cinnamon, and white pepper came to mind.. more fruit and dry spice on the finish. Medium-bodied with moderate-to-high carbonation on the palate.. building warmth that extended to the belly well after the finish.. balance was good, and the mild oxidation really didn’t have a negative effect. Good stuff!

Draft at RisRas, Aarhus. Small white creamy head, brown hazy body. Nice aromas of ficus, date, brown sugar. Creamy texture and full alcoholic body. Very good balanced flavor. Overall a very good beer, and even better on draft.

DuffMan (4242) - the land of bitumen, beef & beer, Alberta, CANADA - OCT 26, 2008
Pours a deep red-orange amber, capped with a thick creamy tan coloured head that leaves incredibly thick lace down the glass. One must fight through the foam to get at the aroma underneath! This beer is big on sweet sugary caramel malt, with cooked apples, orange brandy, yeast, and subtle spices part of the complex picture. The finish is a little boozy and warm, and surprisingly bitter.
