3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Bottle from BOTW. I picked it up from the store the same week it arrived and it was already about 6 months after the bottling date. Bottled 10.08. The pour is a hazy amber with a white head of tight bubbles. Aroma is malty and spicy and a touch doughy. Flavors are a touch bitter and spicy. Definitely easy to drink, but not as special as I would have anticipated. Perhaps the age has dulled this one. It’s really a shame that we in states can’t get European beers faster.
3.9 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Pours a cloudy brown color with a sticky tan head that leaves plenty of lacing. Sticky(e) and thick sweet caramel and malts aroma. Pretty bitter and malty. Palate is thick and sticky. Creamy texture to it. This is like what a German IPA would taste like. The only bad thing about this beer is the price.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
Dark brown pour with a small white head. Aroma holds some definite fruity esters, grain and wheat malt, and some nuttiness, especially almonds. Flavor has lots of dry malt, grain, almond, hazelnut, and a bit of caramel. The fruitiness provides an interesting second layer to the overall character of the taste. Palate isn’t thick, but the flavor lingers very nicely, and the finish is pretty dry. A good brew.

From an attractive 11,2 oz distinctively shaped swing top brown bottle with a coded bottled on date on neck label, 31.01. Made a good appearnace, poured a amber hued brown with a fizzy, bubbly pale tannish head. Had a nice tasty aroma, raisins and dark fruits, a little citric, and a sweet bready maltiness with whiffs of alcohol. Good carbonation and a slick, smooth light bodied mouth feel, good drinkability. Very tasty, raisins and citric fruity, a little piney, a nice hop bite on the tongue, an underlining bready maltiness, a dry sour fruity finish with a lingering alcohol burn in the palate.

Pours deep clear bronze with a thick, off-white head. Bread, caramel and grassy hops in the nose. Nice foundation of heavy caramel, toffee, then comes a little pear followed by a prominent noble hop presence. Bitter hop finish which lingers for awhile. Bold and flavorful. Medium bodied with a smooth texture and subtle carbonation. Overall, pretty enjoyable.
