Slayer85 (862) - Firenze, ITALY - AUG 3, 2007
Draught. A dark red beer with a medium beige head. The aroma is very light (but maybe because it was served too cold) and malty. The flavour is simple with nutty notes. Light body. It doesn’t impress me much.

asedzie (520) - San Francisco, California, USA - JUL 27, 2007
Bottle. Pours maroon with huge, foamy off-white head. Good retention and lacing. Very mild aroma is caramel malt scents backed by grassy, herbal hops. Round middle has toffee and caramel flavors, but only a hint of sweetness. Flavor has lightly bitter, herbal and even slightly floral hops throughout. Relatively full palate with a trace of wateriness, but this seemed to make it a little more refreshing. Very nice lingering bitterness in aftertaste. Could have a few of these in a sitting.

malrubius (1308) - Valley Stream, New York, USA - JUL 26, 2007
500 ml bottle in pint glass. Pours clear dark brown with lasting tan head and lace. Bready aroma with mild fruitiness. Strong malt flavor, slightly raisiny with bitter clean finish. Exceptionally clean tasting while not being light. Medium body. Medium carbonation. I’ve only had a handful of alt beers but I think this is a good one.

Drink4Satan (666) - Frederick, Maryland, USA - JUL 23, 2007
Dark malnut colour with a fizzy, diminishing tan head. The aroma is of malts, caramel, raisins, faint chocolate and grain. The combination of these scents made for a roasty and sour nose. The flavour was of bready malts, caramel, and some sour fruits. The palate was too thin to support the flavours and the finish was very short. This killed the beer for me. A bit of a dissapointment.

bboeckl (142) - Grafton, Wisconsin, USA - JUL 23, 2007
Bottle. Dark brown.Tan head. Nose was of carmel. Taste was carmel candy, grainy, touch of sour. Very refreshing, virtually no harsh bitter tones. Very enjoyable! I would buy again!

Bottle: Dark ebony, light white head, nice lacing. Nose of light sweet caramel and rye. Some tortilla and cleaner notes. Thin malty flavor, some malt notes. Thin, clean.
