Aurelius (3077) - Tallahassee, Florida, USA - FEB 8, 2008

Pretty good label and bottle. Goldings, slightly cigarette-y aroma. Peaty malt, yeasty, a little metallic, generally gave a pretty dry impression. Copper color. Medium body. Sticky bitter aftertaste. Pretty good.

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

heemer77 (4754) - Urbandale, Iowa, USA - OCT 10, 2008

Bright copper colored body with a light khaki head. The aroma has rich caramel and oranges. There is also some milk chocolate rabbit. The taste is largely milk chocolate with hints of apple. There was also some rich bread crust. A nicely made brew with a roasted finish. Hints of iced tea start to come through as it warms.

JCW (1270) - Cincinnati, Ohio, USA - APR 13, 2004

Love the aroma and the big frothy head on this one. Amber colored somewhat cloudy. Aroma of malt mixed with wet twigs. A lot of dissappointment after that. A little watery, not much bitterness at all and not that malty sweet. Not much of a finish period.

JensenTaster (1717) - DENMARK - JUL 18, 2005

(on bottle) Unclear, toffeecloloure with a small, lasting, white head. Woody and fruity aromas, with a backdrop of caramel and smoke; Sniffed this one for a long time; goood. Parshly bitter, malted flavour and a tart, refreshing finish.

iratherbe (255) - Marlton, New Jersey, USA - SEP 28, 2005

Strong amber hues with a solid stable and built head. Some continued carbonation flow, but nothing to take away from the crisp, fresh flavors of the malted grains. Balanced well with some hop essence on the nose. Subtle complex tastes. Went well with good Mexican food after the sampling.
