Swalden_28 (510), McKinney, Texas, USA Jul 8, 2008 Bottle thanks to ericandersnavy.
Pours a cloudy brown with tan head. Aroma has some caramel with faint dark roast. Flavor is the same with semi-sweet taste. Mouthfeel has light-med. body with high carbonation. Overall, pretty good stuff! ericandersnavy (81), denton, Texas, USA Jul 5, 2008 bottle thanks to metzlers in denton, tx. poured a hazy amber with tan head and good retention. aroma had caramel, fruit, and dark roasts. flavor was a nice blend of caramel, fruit, and the dark roasts. greenhorn1 (359), Eugene, Oregon, USA May 31, 2008 12 oz bottle. Pours dark amber with a tan thin head. Aroma is almost undetectable. Flavor is sweet caramel, citrus, with some roastiness and mild spiceness. It tried to have a creamy mouthfeel, but felt a bit short on the thin side. Besides having no aroma, this turned out to be a good winter warmer. Beershine (1059), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 3, 2008 Bottle, special procurement. Red with a thin white head. Cherries in the nose. Nice balance with slight sweetness rounded by a peppery aftertaste. Not bad. Goodgrief (993), Middletown, Delaware, USA Apr 27, 2008 Updated: May 3, 2008Dark murky pour with decent head and lacing. Aroma is dirt with berry like fruit squeezed in. The mouthfeel is of high carbonation which is noticeable before any flavors. The flavors are predominantly dried dark fruits with some earthy dirt tones and a very faint fruitiness. All of this is very mild, in an English sort of way. I thought this was well done without going overboard on spices or fruit. Thanks to MUSHROOMCLOUD from BA for the trade!
