stefanje (540), (Santee) San Diego, California, USA May 3, 2008 Bottle at Toncatchers event courtesy of Sune. Pours a dark brown color with a medium tan head. The nose had a bit of a vegetable quality--I could not place it, but it was not objectionable. The flavor showed good roasted/burnt malts, some light smoke and coffee. The mouthfeel was flawless, very smooth and creamy. The finish was medium in duration and very dry with a slight astringency. Overall: A winner, I hope to try more from this brewery some day.
fordest (1684), Santee/San Diego, California, USA Jun 28, 2008 Sune (sunevdj) sent this to me from New Zealand claiming that he was told it was the best beer in New Zealand. He was probally told correctly. It’s pretty darn good. Dark dark pour with decent head. Lots of roasted flavors with burnt and roasted malts. Touches of mocha and some chocolate.
