3.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 ComradeK (749) - Blue Mountains, AUSTRALIA - APR 18, 2013
500ml bottle. Pours a hazy ruby chestnut, with a large light beige head, which lasts well and leaves good lacing. The aroma offers floral hops, hazelnut and treacley toffee malt. Floral hops up front lead into a sweet mix of drinking chocolate, hazelnut and a touch of toffee. There is a touch of Turkish coffee in the finish, which adds a hint of bitterness. This is quite a pleasant sweet and thick Scotch ale.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 DylansDad (201) - NEW ZEALAND - APR 11, 2013
Very smooth, interesting flavour. Different notes seem to be more or less dominant with each sip, eg first sip for me I was struck by the raisins (and some other fruit) in the middle, next it was all about the malts at the front then the sourness, then the bitter... the sip I just swallowed finished in a blaze of citrus zest, yet all the time the coffee and chocolate is there, almost like a carrier signal for the other flavours. This is more like a food than a drink.

(500ml bottle) Purchased from Hillside Liquors for $8.90. Pours a thin, white creamy head atop a reddish brown body. Nose of roasted malt and minor soap. Flavour is very toasty, good wooden earthy base... Gets more smokey as it warms. All in all a very nice ibeer.

Poor man’s Dark Lord. Tasty, split one with a friend. Head quickly dissipates, leaving sweet, smoky ale.

***Kanske fel på flaskan***
Brun i färgen med litet vitt skum. Doftar sur/sött med choklad malt och vanilj. Tyvärr riktigt syrlig och grönsakig.
