Bottle from Liquid Solutions. Aroma of caramel accompanied by fruity notes - going from plum towards prune in a mild manner. Burnished copper color - it changes with lighting, and a white head that flattened, ringed and disappeared. Medium bodied with mild, fizzy carbonation. Body thins as carbonation departs. Flavor is malty/bready, balanced by decent bitterness. However, the fun thing is the fruit that dances around the hop and malt. I still find light plumminess. Perhaps they used floral hop. The finish is slightly drying, and the bitter stays around. It is just delightful.

Bottle provided by Dortmunder - many thanks!. Amber color. Malt and chocolate in the aroma. Bitter chocolate flavor. Hint of raisin. Rather thin. Malty, chocolate and bitter aftertaste.

Bottled: Clear golden coloured. Huge white head. Malts and sweetness in the aroma. Sweet and malty with a vague hopaccent in the flavour. A little boring I think. Has a nice bitterness in the end. Smooth and bland.

Bottle from Keg Liquor. Poured clear dark copper color with an average frothy off-white head that mostly lasted and produced good lacing. Moderate grassy hop aroma. Medium body with a syrupy texture and soft carbonation. Moderate to heavy sweet flavor with medium sweet finish of moderate duration. The beer goes well with spicy food.

Auch ich finde dieses Bier in keinem Teil übermäßig süß, im Natrunk dafür umso mehr würzig. Besonders im Mittelteil bin ich allerdings schon der Meinung, dass das Bier zu würzig ist. Die Malzaromen, die sich ebenfalls im Mittelteil ausbreiten, gefallen dafür um so mehr. Der Nachgeschmack ist zwar leicht hopfig, insgesamt aber recht wässrig und unpassend im Vergleich zum Rest des Bieres. Test vom 16.1.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 11,11,9,7,13,11 - 10,20

from beerangel.de - clear dark amber colour with a little slightly beige foam; notes of red fruits and chewy malts; sweet and medium-bodied, clean palate, slightly fruity and flowery finish - not bad at all

Bottle: Copper coloured, thin, fluffy off-white head; malty nose (caramel&faint traces of molasses) with a touch of aromatic(!) hops; slightly sweetish malty taste in the beginning, becoming quickly dryer in the mouth; mild bitter flavour; malty and fruity finish with a moderate bitterness; well balanced, well drinkable !

Bottle. Clear amber/brown with small off-white head. Aroma is malt, caramel, bread and toasted. Flavour is malt, caramel, bread, toasted, medium sweet and a little bitter.

(bottle) Clear copper colour with a foamy slightly off-white medium head. Dusty slightly sweet malty aroma with lemon peel. Light sweet fruity flavour, medium body. Smooth sweet malty taste, drying out towards the finish; slightly bitter and hoppy aftertaste with a consistent and almost complex malts character. A tasty seasonal brew, nothing great but well quaffable.

.5 liter bottle poured a clear amber with a small, lasting amber head. Aromas of sweet malt, carmel, and a hint of fruitiness. Palate was light bodied and smooth. Flavors of sweet malt, carmel, and dried fruit with a semi dry, sweet, lingering finish.
