alexanderj (1338), San Diego, California, USA Jul 8, 2008 On tap at the Brick Store in Decatur; poured a dark brown/auburn with a long lasting and creamy head. Aroma of roasted malt with an out of place grassy and citrus presence. Flavor of roasted malt with an IPA bitterness in the finish. While the flavor was not too strong, it was a little offputting. I found that the darker elements and the IPA elements did not mesh too well.
Butters (422), Temporarily in Nashville, Tennessee, USA Oct 2, 2008 Nice mahogany pour with some tan head. Aroma is malty. Hops come in the flavor. Rye bitter aftertaste is not enjoyable for me. I think I just must not care for rye too much. Papsoe (10285), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 28, 2008 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear reddish brown with a creamy beige head. Aroma of roasted malt, burned caramel and good aroma hops. Medium body with notes of burned caramel, roasted malt and a distinct and dry aromatic bitterness. Excellent! 200908 oh6gdx (6332), Vaasa, Finland Sep 28, 2008 Bottled@SBWF2008. Amber colour, small white head. Aroma is sweet hops, wood and some mild nectary notes. Flavour is very much the same. Rather sweet fruity and nectary aftertaste. omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Sep 25, 2008 Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival. Brownish amber, creamy head. Aroma of blood, metal and chocolate. Medium sweet with rough mushy mouthfeel. Above medium bodied with some molasses and a rough resiny bitterness. Ungstrup (11354), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 22, 2008 Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. A red-brown beer with a huge orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of grass, caramel, and spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of spices and chocolate, leading to a dry nutty finish. The flavor is a bit light.
