Pours a dark beer with a good head. Strong aroma with hints of dark fruits. Taste is really good with hints of honey. Lasting aftertaste. Nice beer! wheresthepath (534), Buckinghamshire, England Nov 13, 2009 [330ml bottle from Westholme Stores, Goring] Pours brown with a moderate beige head. Very prickly in the mouth. Immediately very spicy and peppery. A waft of artificial banana comes through followed by evident liquorice and the slightest puff of smoke. Lots of salt and raisins too, and a chunk of Crunchie bar, which along with the sticky mouthfeel is the only evidence of the added honey. Some wood, vanilla and more banana in the sweet finish. The fizz gets really annoying by the end. There’s a whole raft of flavours in this interesting brew, but something about it didn’t quite work for me - probably the fizz and the banana. AmEricanbrew (1808), Doing Rogue, Louisiana, USA Nov 12, 2009 Clear dark brown with a fleeting tan head. Big smoky sweet honey, earthy yeasy, mild barnyard aromas with black pepper. medium body. Earthy belgian yeasty sweet bread flavors with pit fruit and raisons. Very good. dkachur (2346), Charlottesville, Virginia, USA Nov 9, 2009 12 ounce bottle from Whole Foods Market Cary, NC. Got it for a buck. Hooray! Pours a hazy orange tinted brown color with a dense looking moderate sized tan head. Decent head retention and lacing. Aroma of dark malts, sweet cherries, honey and spice. Taste is sweet dark malts, tart cherries, dark fruits, brown sugar. Tart throughout. Medium bodied. Tasty beer. Beer2000 (1778), Kristiansand, Norway Oct 29, 2009 330 ml bottle. Dark, reddish brown body with a big beige head. Aroma is malty with a little hint of sweet, dry fruit. Flavor is sweet malt, dry fruit, caramel and candy sugar. A certain bitter finish. I assume there is supposed to be some honey added, but I am not able to sense this. DJMonarch (6523), Northwich, Cheshire, England Oct 29, 2009 330ml Bottle at the Valley, Scarborough 07/02/2009
