| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jun 13, 2008 Updated: Apr 2, 2009The picture on the label is from the painting "Garden of Earthly Delights" by Hieronymous Bosch. He did the painting in 1504, but if someone told you it was done by a 1960’s artist under the influence of LSD, you wouldn’t question it. Quite bizzare.
As for the beer, this is a nice smooth brown ale. Very drinkable, but certainly not a big beer. I got very little head or lacing, Slightly sweet and malty. This could definitely be a session beer. Mouthfeel is pretty thin, but pleasant enough.
For those who prefer malt flavors over hops. imdownthepub (5122), Banbury, Oxfordshire, England
| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 13, 2008 Bottled, 330ml. Chestnut colour with cream head. Slightly sweet and sticky, which would normally be a turn off for me, but this overcomes it with burnt toffee and cooked fruit notes. There is a carbonated wet paper note initially, but that disperses and the malts take over. Quite reasonable. Baadstorp (55), Århus, Denmark

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | May 23, 2008 I can’t review this beer without first commenting on the label. Seriously, this picture may be the strangest picture I’ve ever seen in my life. A bird, wearing a kettle on its head, eating a human that has birds flying out of its ass? Are you kidding me?
Anyhow, this is a nice looking beer. Pours a dark brown, with a thin tan head. Almost no aroma to speak of. Flavor tastes like a burnt, sweet lager. Palate is medium bodied, but goes down super watery, with a funky aftertaste. Overall, this one isn’t my cup of tea, but I might buy it again, just to get a laugh out of the label.

| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 2/5 | 13/20 | May 22, 2008 Bottle shared by sliffy: Pours a dark ruby-brown with a thin and quickly disappearing head. Smells a tinge of sour, grainy malt, raisin, and burnt sugars. Flavor is a bit of stale nuts, malts, and actually pretty watery. Did not stick to palate, and really lacks a strong malt profile.

Dark fruit flavor with some nuttiness in the background. Medium carbonation. Finish is sweet and a bit astringent. Decent brown. Oakes (8080), gone rambling, Vietnam
