Bottle. Deep amber-orange with a small white head that sticks around to the end of the glass. I made a point of leaving the sediment in the bottle. Great aroma right from the get-go - earthy, almost funky malts, some caramel, a bit of alcohol, and pungent hops. Soft, creamy mouthfeel. Lovely flavour of sweet and woody malt, a hint of honey and peach in the middle, and a well-hopped finish with notes of citrus and wood. Really nice!

Bottle. Dark amber color with a medium, creamy, long-lasting, beige head. Malty aroma with some hops, some nuts, mild fruitiness, and light toastiness. Sweetish malty flavor, a bit of caramel, a bit of biscuits and slightly bitter finish. Rounded and medium-bodied. Not bad.

Sampled from bottle at Danish Beer Festival 2004 (#23).
Creamy off-white head on a cloudy amber colored body. Woody, dark malty, beeries and somewhat earthly aroma. Quite full flavor, malty and spicy. Also pepper, fruit and hops. A really nice and different beer.

UPDATED: AUG 14, 2008 500 ml, bb 07-18-06! Cloudy chestnut color with a huge spewing-out-of-the bottle head that is sticky and lasts forever. Aroma is earthy-spicy with some cooked sweet apples. Flavor is earthy pumpkin with root spices, maybe some Belgian horse blanket, and sweet-’n-sour apples and grapes. The palate is smooth, light-medium bodied, and a little watery. This one was obviously past its prime, but I enjoyed it.

BCA (from Sainsburys). M ainly malt and fruit aromas with a light background of caramel. Thin with a metallic finish. Not great.
3.7 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Pours an orangish iced-tea color with a fast-rising off-white head that eventually deflates to a reasonable size. The aroma is sweet, woody, and a bit floral. The flavor is wood and grapefruit up front, then a tour of various malts, then some floral honey sweetness, then a warm and smooth hop finish. Not the kind of thing I would drink for leisure, but this would be excellent with some good food.

How easy drinking this was - malty smooth, sweet fruits, nuts, citrus juices and a nice lightly bitter finish. Nice orange body, great head and lacing. Tasty tasty
