4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 Skinnyviking (5472) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUL 16, 2008
Bottle. High and lasting creamy off-white head. Hazy orange milky, thick looking body. Fruity sweet aroma of pears, plums and raisin. Flavor as indicated by the aroma plus a nice shot of hops and a hint of the alcohol. Very well balanced though. Would never have guessed the high alcohol percentage.
3.7 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 thebeertourist (3981) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUL 1, 2008
Bottle branded as Halloween. Appropriate amber colour with a stable, medium head. Wonderful raisins aroma with some nuttiness. Fruit, notably raisins, heading towards a dry finish. Though delivering less than promised by its nose, it is still a great beer. The bottle may be a few years old so this is a beer that also stores well.

Bottle @ Mondial 08’. Unusual bitter flavor not originating form hops. Clean fruity nose and finish. One of the better beers of this style I’ve ever tried.

UPDATED: JAN 25, 2012 Cloudy gold body with a medium white head. Aroma is bitter grass, sweet pale malts, caramel, light fruits, light spice. Full flavored. Hoppy and citrusy flavor. Clove notes. Crisp and refreshing aftertaste. Nice.
3.9 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 douglas88 (3483) - Salt Lake City, Utah, USA - MAY 10, 2008
UPDATED: MAY 12, 2008 Bottle shared by Eric. Awesome bottle celebrating Halloween. It’s May but this beer exudes late October. The body is a cloudy blond with a frothy white head. The aroma was just great; sweet fruits, over ripe apples and perhaps strawberries and apple sauce. The taste was quite dry throughout, with a bunch of apples and a smooth body. This beer dances around on your palate, it’s almost zesty. I enjoyed this one, it really fits its theme well.

Flaske. Mørke orange med en god del proteinklumper hvilket trækker ned i udseende. Duft af en smule frugt. Smagen er kraftig med en god del alkohol der bider på tungen. Kan ikke komme over proteinklumperne.
