Jan 10, 2009 On tap at Novare Res. Brilliant beer. Aroma of oak, vanilla, toffee, peach and sweet malt. This is absolutely awesome! Flavor blows you away with a clean crisp, not overly sweet, not overly hopped, well balanced beer. This stuff is fantastic.

Jan 9, 2009 aroma was loaded with sweet vanilla. the oak is in perfect proportion to not over power any other flavors. the taste is full of vanilla, toffee and hops. as it warmed a little more oak became apparent. great beer

Jan 8, 2009 12 oz bottle at Akkurat, Stockholm. Dark reddish color. Strong perfumed and lemony hop aroma with berries, toffeish maltiness and raspberry. Bittersweet flavor with lemony hops as well as firm toffeish and caramelly maltiness. Chewy mouthfeel but not as chewy as in ordinary AB. Excellent bittersweet and hoppy finish.

Jan 4, 2009 Wafty hop aroma with woody oak and grassy soil. Dark caramel with solid head (slightly beige). Metallic and bitter on the tongue, some citrus tones. I was disappointed overall, very metallic and I got mostly cheap oak chip character from the oaking. Tangy and bitey on the tongue, smooth and velvety in the mouth.
