kflorence (93), San Diego, California, USA Jul 8, 2008 22 oz. bottle. Poured amber-red with some beige head that quickly dissipates. Smells of tart fruits, molasses, nuts and alcohol. Tastes sweet and toasty... honey and dried fruits with notes of malts and almonds... a little tart, and some definite alcohol presence. Not bad, the flavor of alcohol was not masked enough for my tastes, but I should have expected that at 7.9%. crazyvin (1246), New York, USA Jul 8, 2008 poured an amber-red hue with a quickly fading white head. No carbonation present.
A rich malty aroma sweet caramel and bread notes some alcohol. Flavor was a sweet with both caramel and a sweet bread note. Nice smooth drink, mild but noticeable alcohol presance . cellar (484), Dublin, Ireland Jul 1, 2008
