Oct 6, 2007 Smells very sweet, like raisin bread almost, very sweet alcohol aroma. Pours a dark honey color with a small fizzy head that disappears quickly. Taste is much better than what is smells like. A nice light slightly bitter malt taste with a slightly watery finish. Not bad, pretty enjoyable.

Sep 29, 2007 This is part of a beer club. Had only one bottle but was decent for the price. Poured great and had a nice finish. Would do again.

Sep 29, 2007 550ml Bottle: Pours orange in colour, very good head that didn’t leave. Strong, strong aroma of hops and candy sweetness. The taste is surprisingly light compared to the aroma, more malts than expected. Nice!

Sep 28, 2007 550 ml brown bottle, winter 2007-2008, now available in Norway (Vinmonopolet). BB end of August 08. ABV is 6.0%. Clear amber colour, huge off-white head. Moderate malty aroma, notes of caramel, toffee and biscuits. The flavour is also moderately malty and quite sweet, with notes of treacle, toffee and hints of oak. Moderate hops in the finish. Nothing wrong with it, but not really outstanding. It is quite obvious that this beer is not bottle conditioned.

Sep 18, 2007 Updated: Nov 28, 2007For years one of my absolute favourites, this is a smooth but delicious, flavourful & satisfying ale. It is deep amber with a thick, long-lasting off-white head and some weak lacing. The flavour has plenty of malt with just enough hops to balance and give the whole a fairly complex, rich, but perfectly balanced taste, with an interesting blend of faint fruitiness, spice,toffee and toasty biscuit elements, all nicely balanced so nothing overpowers. At the same time, it is crisp, almost faintly tart, with a nice, lively palate. It is smooth and very drinkable with a nice, crisp finish.
