the bottle is absolutely awesome. . a heavy solid ceramic cask with a stopper...
it carries with it highexpectations that as much attention and creativity has been given to what is inside. Alas, such is not the case.

4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - MAY 14, 2006
Ceramic bottle. Ruby red colour (alt. reddish brown), big offwhite head (no matter how you poured it, it foamed lots). Aroma is licorace, yeast, malts and caramel. Licorace, malts, yeast and caramel is in the flavour. Very smoothly mixed. Alcohol brings a bit sweetness to the whole, but is not disturbing.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 FoolishMortal (973) - San Diego, California, USA - MAY 9, 2006
75cL bottle. Murky brown with tinges of orange. Practically no head. Rich currant, alefruit, old caramel, and alcohol in the aroma. Completely flat, watered down toffee, anise, and yeasty spicy ester flavors with a heavy alcohol presence. Some raisins and more alcohol in the finish. Mouthfeel is very thin.
3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 15/20 slang (602) - Columbia, South Carolina, USA - APR 19, 2006
Tall ceramic bottle. Very few bubbles, and no head. Dark brown, yet clear. Nose is of licorise?, choc., and alcohol. This is complex, dispite being almost flat. Watery mouthfeel is this one’s downfall, the rest is in layers of malt complexness, toffee, choc, and licorise. I can’t spell. Suprisingly alcoholic. Good, but I would’ny drink this again unless it was fresh. 25 oz @ $15, ouch for flat beer.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 tronraner (2430) - Walland, Tennessee, USA - MAR 26, 2006
Bottle. Pours mahogany with a well-lacing off-white head. The aroma is burnt sugar, green leaves, some sweet chocolate. The flavor is rather dry with lots of dry leaves and an ambient molasses tone. Ok, but nothing special.
3.1 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 NachlamSie (2077) - Tennessee, USA - MAR 26, 2006
bottle. Pours a dark amber with a foamy white head. Aroma is very yeasty with bright cloves, flowers, maybe a bit of bubblegum. This comes across as quite watery and acidic with just enough sweet spiced notes to make it interesting. I was all excited about the prospect of a Belgian porter and here I am drinking a slightly above medicore brew that is most certainly not a porter. OH well.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 RooftopRogue (423) - Champaign, Illinois, USA - MAR 11, 2006
This beer introduces itself with an aroma infused with the scents of malt, dates, honey, caramel, hops, and toffee. It is a brown solution with an off-white head and good lacing. This sweet beer offers a flavor that has hints of dates, nuts, and biscuits. It fades leaving a mild nutty taste lingering.
