FatPhil (3443), Espoo, Finland Dec 30, 2007 Draught (Dickens, Riga)
Dark orange, thin head. Sweet mild aroma. Creamy mellow sweet malty taste, some hops follow - but not many, a bit nutty and maybe soapy a touch. OK, but a bit soft - needs more guts. ShawnMalloy (119), Auburn, Massachusetts, USA Dec 25, 2007 Pours a light orange with a thick white head. A tad hoppy on the nose with a big sense of fermenting yeast . Taste is confusing. Not too sweet. Not too hoppy. An odd mixture. The finish is where it balances out. Snojerk321 (1914), San Diego, California, USA Dec 10, 2007 bottle. Beer poured a clear amber with a thin off white head that left little lacing. Brew was very similar to a domestice amber like Karl Strauss. Pwn3d (1036), Manhattan, New York, USA Dec 3, 2007 Pours dark amber. Decent carbonation that goes down smooth, very pleasant malty taste with strange but not offensive cold metallic favor in the finish. I nice choice if you dont want a Belgian Ale with 9+ % wilderthanyou (408), Guelph, Ontario, Canada Dec 2, 2007 The beer pours a dark, slightly cloudy amber with a thin, beige head. The aroma of carboard, urine, and damp wood. The flavour thankfully doesn’t taste like the aroma, with a decent malty base, and some hop bitterness at the end. Really rather straight forward, expected something more complex. Not a bad beer, but certainly not a great one either. JoeMcPhee (4893), Jackson Heights, New York, USA Dec 2, 2007 Amber colour, white head. toasty aroma, fairly chewy and sweet with a light dried apricot and pear aroma. Light plumminess and a sweet richness. Lingering earthiness and toasted malt. exadore (92), Sacramento, California, USA Nov 22, 2007 Bottle. Poured with a finger high white head, with a rusty red color to the body. Smells fairly bitter, and fairly fruity. Good lacing. Good balance, being initially malty, and finishing bitter and smooth. Its alright, but I think its darker than what is representative of the style. yarry (370), Waterdown, Ontario, Canada Nov 16, 2007 33Cl bottle, 5.2% a/v
Pours a dark red tea colour with some haze. A smallish but compact off white head. Smells fruity as well as dark malt. Taste is also fruity cherry/berries with a hop based citric taste as well. The mouthfeel is somewhat thin, but a nice sweet and mellow flavour stay with you. Nice beer.
