BeerHeadBobby (142), In Hiding.., Florida, USA Aug 23, 2006 Bottle - Pours a ruby brown with a small head... Smells of strong sweet toffee and malts... Tastes similar to a newcastle... but slightly sweeter.. overall a pretty decent malty brown ale.. absolutly love the label... simialar to a Salvadore Dali painting.. decent beer...recommended dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Aug 8, 2006 Had this at the end of the night, so I was feeling good, but this was a very nice finish. An excellent red-brown ale. Sweet yet w/out that sugary disintegrate-your-teeth feeling. Much sweeter than any other brown I’ve had, but I could drink this fairly regularly. radiomgb (1920), Peterborough, Ontario, Canada Jul 31, 2006 330ml bottle obtained in a trade with <a
href=http://www.ratebeer.com/ViewUser.asp?UserID=10311 target=blank>piscator34, thanks Kris. Deep ruby in colour, long lasting beige coloured head, some lacing. The aroma has lots of toffee, its quite rich and malty, very sweet. The flavour is rather sweet but not overly so, dark fruits (cherries), caramel malts, some chocolate, very light roast. Thick mouthfeel, medium body, medium carbonation. Finishes with a lingering mild sweetness. Pretty sweet but not overpowering, not to bad. jerc (3861), Toronto, Ontario, Canada Jul 30, 2006 Bottle. Dark brown body with a big tan head. Sweet fruity aroma, light malt, hints of cocoa and malt that carries over to the flavour. Dilute fruity malt is pleasant but feels watered down slightly. Average to thin palate. This was actually quite pleasant but did not rate higher. Kinz (2179), Glen Allen, Virginia, USA Jul 18, 2006 Deep ruby borwn, nice head fades slow. Aroma of mild coffee and a touch of ash. Light coffee flavor, almost like a watery Maxwell House. But somewhat better than that. Not much else going on here. So-so. theraven1971 (13), USA Jul 11, 2006 Bottle. Poured dark brown, like a dark tea. Aroma hints of fruity sweetness. Nice head and lacing. Flavor starts as smooth and lightly sweet, but builds to strongly sweet as you drink it. A great beer for one bottle, but couldn’t bring myself to drink more than one at a time because of the lingering sweetness. Tmoney99 (4655), Cincinnati, Ohio, USA Jul 9, 2006 Bottle. Poured clear brown color with a large frothy brown head that lasted and produced good lacing.Moderate sweet nutty aroma. Medium body with a smooth texture. Medium nutty sweet flavor with a medium sweet finish of average duration. Smooth drinkable brew. tommy8768 (120), Litlle Compton, Rhode Island, USA Jun 23, 2006 Nice mahogany color out of the bottle, has ahuge head and nice lacing. Very malty and sweet taste, with molasses and brown sugar notes. Not much hop or bitterness though. A little on the sweet side but still very good.
