Sejtelmesen ködös,zavaros narancsvörös színe van.Habja piszkos sárga,vékony és gyorsan lelappad,a pohár szélén keskeny gallért hagyva.Illata édeskés,melaszos és van benne egy kis aszalt sárgabarack is.Íze rendkívül összetett.Első harapásra édeskés,malátás,égetett cukros ami szépen átúszik egy medvecukros és fenyőgyantás ízvilágba,amin egyre jobban eluralkodik a finom komlós kesernyésség.Utóíze hosszan tartó és kellemesen száraz és gyümölcsös.Az alkohol kellemesen melegít a test pedig vastag és olajos.Szinte biztos hogy a nagyüzemi tucat lagerek kedvelői egyből sokkot kapnak a kóstolásánál.Fantasztikus! Köszönet Neked Armando629 és a "Csak a jó sör" boltnak hogy megkóstolhattam ezt a sörcsodát!

bottle. poured amber with an off white head. aroma was very nice with caramel, brown sugar, plum, peppermint, and raisin. flavor was not up to par with the nose but was still good with caramel, alcohol, brown sugar, and peppermint. body was medium with medium-high carbonation and a slick feeling to it.

0.335 l bottle. Reddish brown colour, average/soft carbonation, (in my glass) no head. Appetizing sweet, alcoholy and fruity (citrus, apricot) smell. Taste is sweet and light sharp, body’s tiny sticky. Flavour’s sweet, fruity with notes of hops in the back. Finish is alcoholy contained with a pleasant light-bitter aroma of floral hops. Interesting beer.

Bottle. Pours amber with orange and red tints. The thin beige head dissipated quickly. Strong caramel, fermented fruit, and malt aromas. Taste was very sweet and fruity with caramel, alcohol (brandy), and malt flavors.

Pours a clear ruby red to amber color with a thick light orange head. Aroma is intense sweet malt with fruity notes and... some more sweet malt. Flavor is less extreme and actually quite well balanced. There is this delicate sweetness that starts it all off, followed by a nice subtle bitterness that peeks around the corner. Well in balance and never over the line. Although its body is based primarily on the sweet malts it never gets boring.

Bottle. Poured a dark reddish amber with a quickly dissipating light brown head. Aroma was full of sweet barley giving it a cereal and caramel flavor. Flavor was quite sweet with a grainy flavor as well as some caramel. Nice and thick on the tongue.

Pours a reddish brown with an aroma of caramel, molasses, and dark fruit. Flavor of caramel, molasses with some alcohol. Very sweet, but very drinkable.

Recently purchased bottle. Pour is clear ruby red with a smallish beige head. Aroma has notable hops, lots of sugar, marshmallow, light malt, and faint cognac. Flavor is hoppy up front. Then a cloying sweetness kicks in that I am not a fan of. There is also a bit of oxidation present as well. I just bought this bottle and there was no indication that it was a vintage bottle. The finish is a sweet mess with light alcohol and light black pepper. I have had this beer before and I remember liking it. Maybe this was an off bottle
