Deep gold in colour, the head was loose and reluctant. smells of caramel, brown leaves (how can you taste leaves?) and sultanas. Has a sweet/sticky mouthfeel, as others seem to mention a lot.
1.3 AROMA 2/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 4/20 JonnyDr (132) - , Bedfordshire, ENGLAND - OCT 1, 2008
Golden pour with transient frothy head. Malt and grain give way to honey, water and alcohol. Very thin and hollow.
2.8 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20 gwpom (283) - Akron, New York, USA - SEP 26, 2008
12 oz. This years batch doesn’t have "Strong" on the label, but it’s 7.0% so it appears to be the same beer. Amber color, thin white head. It’s got a rough and smooth taste to it, which I know is contradictory, but still that’s what it feels like. The flavor isn’t bad, smooth and drinkable, but it leaves kinda a rough edge to it after the fact. Don’t know if I’d rate it this low, but I also probably won’t go back here.

Bottle. Pours amber with a off white head. Sweeter malt, grainy aroma with a hint of earthy hops. Flavor has grain, malt, trace hops, and faint boozy notes.
3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 yespr (20653) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - AUG 28, 2008
50 cL can. Pours clear and golden orange with a diminishing off-white head. Grainy to cornish aroma with a note of alcohol presence. Sweet caramelish and malty flavour, not unpleasant and nice compared to the aroma. Lingering caramelish to almost breadish finish with a light bitterness and alcohol presence as the beer warms up.
2.7 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 11/20 phishpond417 (2089) - Madison, Wisconsin, USA - AUG 21, 2008
Sampled from bottle: Pours a clear reddish-orange colour with a small off white head. Aroma is a little boozey at times, maple syrup, caramel and raisins also on the nose. Taste is pretty full on the palate. Overly malted, with syrupy qualities. A little unbalanced in my opinion.
2.2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 heavy (1466) - Split, CROATIA - AUG 17, 2008
13/08 0.5 l bottle from a gas station near Warszawa. This poured darker golden (golden-brown) body with medium sized but short living head. Aroma is quite weak, but sweetish malt can be easily distinguished from some grassy hops and a touch of alcohol. Flavor pretty boring, foul sweetish, with sourish notes of hops. Also some odd dry bitterness making it so strange. Finish is alcoholic with some odd malt notes. Boring one, sure there can be worser, but this one seems so unnecessary.
