It tastes and smells so much like freshly baked ANZAC biscuits. It’s also the most beautiful looking beer I’ve seen in a long time - a brilliantly clear fiery red-amber, like glowing embers. This might be the perfect autumn session ale. Slightly to high ABV for a session, but still, so moreish. The end of the glass came way too quickly. swanmann (310), Norman, Oklahoma, USA

It smells intensely of caramel and candied sugar or fruits, figs. The flavor is sweet as well. Heavy caramel notes with a slow finish. It’s very smooth, and light to medium bodied. Incredibly drinkable. burpfrank (292), carpinteria, California, USA

| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | May 31, 2009 Pours with a fluffy semi-loose head with a lighter amber color. The aroma is coppery with a spicy and sweet malty character with some cinnamon thrown in... cool.
The flavor is nutty and roasty (roasted nuts?) with some apple. The beer is largely dry but with a nice caramel backbone and just enough hop bitterness to make it remarkably well rounded. This reminds me a bit of the Uerige Classic. and pears, thoroughly enjoyable.

Sweet and mellow aroma, slightly caramelly, nice bisquity maltiness. Mellow flavor wit good toasted bisquity character. Light bitterness. Good malt backbone but falls short on bitterness.
