I enjoyed this one and will try to get more of it in the near, or late, future, whenever I get around to getting it again. Heathen (810), Riverside, New Jersey, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 14/20 | Feb 5, 2009 THOUGHTS: Nice and malty, but not cloying. Rather British too. Nice, but nothing special.
TECHNICAL: Bottle. Poured a dark, reddish brown with a small, off-white head that mostly diminished and left fair lacing. The aroma was nice, but a little weak. There was grain and caramel malts, apple, red wine, slight alcohol, tea, slight bourbon and spices. The flavor started very sweet and finished sweet and a little bitter with an average duration. There was caramel malt, apple, cherry, slight alcohol, raisin, a little bit of metallic hops and maybe some spices. The medium body was a little oily with tingly carbonation and a metallic and lightly alcoholic finish. doublebock (197), USA

| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Feb 4, 2009 500 ml bottle. Pours clear reddish-brown, with a moderate-sized, fluffy tan head. Aroma is sweet caramel malt with some apple candy. Flavor is rather candy-sweet, mostly brown sugar and caramel, with a hint of smoky malts. Fairly light body. Not bad, but could do with something to balance the sweetness. jkwalking05 (1501), Arlington, Texas, USA

| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Jan 29, 2009 50 cl bottle, Alko Helsinki. Ruby and clear beer, white lasting fluffy head. Sweet caramel-like and toffee aroma, almost sickly sweet. Likewise sweet flavor and, I dare, sticky mouthfeeling. Malty sweet and medium body. A bitter hint is maybe missing.
