Bottle. Nice amber body. Small head. Nice sweet fruity aroma, almost like candy. And hints of strawberry too. Pleasant nice malty flavour. Well balanced. (Blå Rock, 04.01.08)

amber with nice lasting head, light spices, lasting cabonation, small hoppy finish, enjoyable

Jan. 2007 - Beer poured reddish brown, clear color. Aroma was of caramel malts. Flavor was light caramel and light honey...a bit weak in the flavor and thin in the mouthfeel. Again, a light tinge of grassy hops at the end. I’d expect better from Samuel Smith.

Poured amber with a decent tan head. Aroma - was sweet caramel with some spice. Taste was of fruit, caramel, spices with some bitterness on the finish. Decent brew.

Light malt body, sweet fruits, very porter-like flavors. A decent brew, typical sammy smith.

550 ml bottle. pours very bright red with a small head and little carbonation. aromas of ripe red apples and other fruits. very sweet aromas. flavours are light sweet malts. easy to drink and nothing really wrong but not alot goin on here. not a must have.

2007/2008. 550ml. Poured with a ver large off white head that lasted about a minute. Nice copper color, carbonated....mmmm....bubbles. Very "doughy" smell and taste. I made the mistake of tasting this on kind of a warm night. This would be a good beer for a camping trip.

Tasted 2/8/2008. 355ml bottle. 2006-2007 edition. Slightly hazy with an amber hue fading to golden. Spotty off-white head. Soapy bready cinnamon and toffee aromas. Touch raisins. Medium bodied and smooth. Fruit cake bready flavors. Spicy and peppery. Good hop finish and mild sweetness. Touch tart citrus note. Cinnamon and honey. Toasty and sticky with a pleasant lingering character. Very nice indeed!
