wyzzywyz22 (387), Wirral, Merseyside, England Oct 1, 2008 Bottle, Ale Cellar, Darlington. Poured a deep brown colour with a decent sized tan head. Aroma was sweet and loaded with fruit. Stickyish, syrupy mouthfeel. Flavour was belting and got better with each swig; sweet malt, caramel, wood, plum, cherry. Subtle booze kick into a softish finish. Yum...Good stuff pal ! Calichio (452), Campinas, Brazil Sep 9, 2008 Excelente cerveja! Coloração marrom, turva, com um creme bege denso e medianamente persistente, deixando uma fina camada perene. Aroma muito bom, com notas evidentes de avelã(!), torrefação e chocolate. Talvez frutas vermelhas... O sabor segue o aroma, mas um pouco menos brilhante. Muito sutilmente aparece o álcool, deixando o conjunto equilibrado. A carbonatação é média/baixa, agradável. Corpo denso, mas suave. A consistência é cremosa. Baita conjunto! Não deixe de provar... austone (440), Turku; Pori, Finland Sep 4, 2008 Murky ruby brown, lacing beige head. Sweet malty aroma, spices and sweet pear. Flavor is also sweet, with liquorice and menthol like spiciness. Little hops in the finish. Full bodied, round silky palate. It’s nicely malty, but just not satisfying, nor diverse enough. Tranquillity (1074), Espoo, Finland Aug 30, 2008 Bottled, Kaisla. Dark baer, red body. big white small-bubbled head. Wonderful whiskey aroma, toasted dark bread, rye. The taste is fantastic, roasted rye bread all the way. If you haven’t tried that, come to Finland. Really enjoyable beer. FatPhil (2352), Espoo, Finland Aug 17, 2008 330ml bottle (Kaisla, Helsinki)
Hazy reddy brown, small tight head. Sweet dark rye-bready roasty malt aroma. Soft palate, but pleasant carbonation. Slightly yeasty, but good rich roasty body. Some subtle hop bite, but the hops come through more in the finish, and are just a little anaesthetic (probably the hallertau).
