| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 22, 2008 I really enjoy this beer. It pours beautifully, with a dark amber, clear color and a creamy off-white head. The taste is malty, with a slight toffee flavor. Finish is oily and a bit creamy, with some fizziness. Great beer to enjoy any time, but especially like it when warming up on a winter evening. omhper (12172), Stockholm, Sweden
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Jun 9, 2008 Bottled at Bishop’s Arms Vasagatn, Stockholm. Clear brownish amber, average head. Crisp cracker-like malt covered in a thin layer of syrup. There’s hay and caramel and ligh salty bitterness. It’s very drinkable, and I can still see why I liked this beer so much 15 years ago - although these days there are much better beers available. thewolf (5722), Kolding, Denmark

Pours dark amber with a small, creamy, off-white head. Aroma is softly malty, light ryebread and a nice dose of flowery hoppiness. Fine, soft mouthfeel. Flavour is soft as well, good nuttiness and some toffee with a good, dry hoppiness. A subdued chocolate finish. Nice balance. EHopper (274), Minnesota, USA
| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jun 7, 2008 I enjoyed this smoky, sweet, nicely hopped ale. Carmel and malt, bread and earth with citrus and exotic spices. Really, a well balanced, interesting brew, with only a bit too much sour as a minor distraction. tronraner (1909), Seymour, Tennessee, USA

Herbal tea-like aroma with nuttiness, orange zest, and some autumn spice and toast. The flavor is caramel, some toast, even herbal and spicy bitterness, and some fruity esters. Ok.

Honey rich aroma and earthy malts allow one to quaff this ale all too easily.
