KnutAlbert (3108), Oslo, Norway May 8, 2007 Bottle Malty sweet aroma, and it tastes malty sweet, too. Some caramel. Watery and boring. thebeertourist (2750), Oslo, Norway May 8, 2007 Bottle. Deep red amber, quite clear, smallish head. Neutral sweet and burnt aromas. Burnt caramel flavours, rather sweet. Lightish body. A disappointment from Van Steenberge. JFURYCAT (782), East Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania, USA Apr 26, 2007 I really don’t know what to make of this. The sourness almost smacks me of a lambic but the rest of it consists of a wet palate and way too much carbonation. The aroma isn’t bad but has a downside-sour apples dipped in paint? IrishBoy (2685), Bakersfield, California, USA Apr 23, 2007 Bottle; Nose of caramel and a tomatoy berry note (like a weak V-8 hint); hazy light brown with a medium beige head; flavor was coardboardy, must be an old bottle, with some caramel and spices. spectrex26 (9), Naples, Florida, USA does not count Apr 17, 2007 Bottle: A true amber colored pour with a slightly off-white head which poured a bit thin, but lasted longer than expected. Smell is toasted marshmallow, which can be broken down into toasted and sugar or maybe sweet white bread. Butter or toffee also. Body is a creamy with a very soft carbonation. If I were to walk into a bar and ask for a beer and be handed this I would be absolutely satisfied, but in general it did not really develop enough or have the complexity to push it higher. gilvanblight (390), Windsor, Ontario, Canada Apr 15, 2007 Dark reddish pour. Unfiltered look. Bubbly head. Herby gritty scent, a nice change from the usual sweet double and tripple scent. Very odd flavour. Somewhat ’Savoury’. A bit of sweetness. A tart blackberry like aftertaste. The more I drink the more distinct the taste becomes. bhensonb (4182), Woodland, California, USA Apr 13, 2007 Aromas of caramel malt and fruit. Brilliant coppery color with a slight beige head that tries to lace. Light plummy flavor, followed by a sour component, and finishes slightly bitter and semi-dry. A really pleasant drink. Drink4Satan (585), Bristol, Rhode Island, USA Apr 12, 2007 Pours an unimpressive clear copper with a thin diminishing head. Smells of caramel, almond, and granny smith apples. It’s got an average malty taste with a hint of hops.
