kevd193213 (477), Hope Valley, Rhode Island, USA Jul 29, 2008 Bottle. Brown pour with massive light brown head. Aroma of caramel, sugar and gingerbread. Taste of malt, orange peel and nuts with a great finish. Pawola22 (676), Kansas City, Missouri, USA Jul 28, 2008 Pours an extremely dark brown. Tan head that dissipates quickly, but a swirl easily brings back a creamy looking tan head. The aroma is very sweet and malty. Hints of berries, cherries, and candy. Some toffee and caramel. It reminds me of a creamsicle. The flavor is very sweet and malty as well. Lots of berries or cherries and candy toffee. There is a light lingering bitterness and hints of roast and chocolate. It coats the mouth very well and has no carbonation feel. A really creamy medium body. Overall, this is a fantastic brew. Great flavor, great balance, and a damn good feel. tarjei (1741), Bryne, Norway Jul 26, 2008 33 cl bottle, bought at Ølkonsortiet, Aalborg. Dark brown color, nice tan head. Aroma is dried fruit and roasted malt. Flavor is the same, with bitterness in the finish. Very nice, but a bit watery finish. saltebru (13), Ionia, Michigan, USA Jul 25, 2008 Antique wood brown with a strong tan head. Aroma of dark chocolate and coffee. I can sense a really dark chocolate with a dried cherry, raisin or orange peel. There is just a hint of sweetness. The beer is creamy and a little sticky. IDunno19 (78), Ames, Iowa, USA Jul 22, 2008 Pillowy white head and a deep rich amber color.
