Despite the commercial description, I would have to say that the beer is the most beautiful amber/mahogany I have ever seen. I didn’t know whether to start drinking it or place it on a marble stand with back lighting. Oh, did I mention that it tastes, smells and feels really good as well? duff (5475), Surrey, Greater London, England

| 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Sep 9, 2005 Pours ruby red with a generous off tan head that laces the glass nicely throughout the sampling. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, and pepper radiate from this one initially. As the beer settles, some nice mellow clove like qualities emerge. Taste is of roses, cherries, and some tangy oranges. As the beer warms up, some nice chocolatey nutty notes begin to emerge. Finish is grassey and a bit bitter but not overwhelming. Full tingy mouthfeel.
