HogTownHarry (3273), Toronto (Harbourfront), Ontario, Canada Nov 11, 2006 Bottle (330ml). Via trade with mouton_noire. Murky deep chestnut, large creamy tan head with a lovely thick lace. Sharp peppery yeast, sweet malt, bitter and lactic. Taste is a nice sour malt tang, bitter alcohol in the finish, lightly spiced, improves dramatically as it warms. Average body, nicely lively and complex mouthfeel, slightly sour aftertaste, pretty good.
Slayer85 (457), Firenze, Italy Oct 10, 2008 Bottled. A cloudy dark red/brown beer with a big, quick disappearing beige head. The aroma has a good maltiness and notes of caramel, fruits, spices and a light herbal touch fro the hops. The flavour is overall well balanced, not overly sweet and with a moderate acidity. Again some caramel and the spices are well present. Medium body, lively carbonation, long fiinish with almost medium bitterness. The alcohol is well hidden. Surely a good beer. Angeloregon (2002), Portland, Oregon, USA Sep 5, 2008 Bottle from Johns Market Place in PDX--Poured a deep robust chestnut brown body with a minimal off-white head. Nutty, sweet, metallic, slightly cardboardy. I think this beer is a little off, but is still tasty and robust. Not bad. ogivlado (2391), Zagreb, Croatia Aug 31, 2008 Bottled(330ml). -Ruby reddish coloured, medium sized white head that went away slowly, fruity spicy nose. Well balanced fruity spicy and light caramel and alcoholic taste with mild notes of honey, yeast and berries. Very smooth. Scauca (260), Lovere, Italy Aug 26, 2008 Tap. Dark brown with a very nice creamy tan head. Strong fruity aroma, berries overall, and a touch of roasted malt. Very smooth palate, again berries, caramel and a light touch of dark maltiness. Borresteijn (584), Amstelveen, Netherlands Aug 21, 2008 Bottle @ de Zotte. Dark brown beer, white head. Aroma is sweet, a bit sour, caramel, fruits. Flavour is very sweet, a bit sour, caramel, dark fruits, malts, spices. Too sweet.
