Commercial Description:
Dark chocolate in color, you can see a wonderful reflection if you hold it up to the light. It is round and soft with the warm, sweet aroma of freshly roasted malted barley. A satisfying, malty taste, with coffee-ish tones and a hint of plummy fruitiness in the finish. Complex and beautifully balanced.

16.9oz - Aroma of toasted malts and sprouts. A little nutty. Pours transparent red-brown with medium head and good lacing. Flavor is toasty, earty, malty, with barley, sprouts, and nuts. Palate is kind of thin and sticky. Not bad

Brown with clear red shine, big bubbled head stays long, leaves laces; Huge nose, deep, first loads of grapefruit (like the carbonation blows in your face), later notes of soil, dark baked white bread, loads of character; Quite bitter/ acidy body, a bit to the watery thin side; Long but again watery thin finish that has a chewy bitterness and the same aroma as the nose. I find that the character of nose and body isn’t all that coherent.

(bottle, with many thanks to joss!) Clear dark ruby brown colour with a stable foamy beige head. Sweet toasted malt aroma with caramel, chocolate and herbal hops. Sweetbitter flavour, medium body, very smooth mouthfeel. Sweet toastmalty taste with caramel and herbal hops; medium dry lingering toasty and hopbitter finish with a lasting aftertaste.

Tasty, with a hint of spice. Pours a golden-brown with good head. Finish was okay, but not as long or good as I was hoping.

Bottle (best regard to joss): Dark amber coloured with red sparks, small, stable beige head; stronger aroma of roasted malt with a touch of coffee (almost a smoked aroma); slightly sweetish flavour with some bitterness in the wings; slightly sweetish, but later dry "roasted" malty and bitter finish. A light bodied goodie.........

Brown pour wiht huge head boiling over the glass. Dark fruit, roast malt aroma. Weird smokiness to the flavor that I didn’t enjoy, long lingering finish. Stronger flavor than I expected.
