| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 2/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | May 12, 2009 Undated 12.7 ounce bottle with a twistoff cap (wtf !?!) and lots of sediment... label features a picture of a ridiculously-bearded dude. A furiously carbonated, soupy amber pour generates a short head with no staying power. Weird duddel-ish aromas… "spicy butterscotch", plum and banana, black jellybeans. Tastes caramelly and fruity-bitter; maybe a hint of red velvet cake? Flavor is a lot like a weizenbock. Sharp tingly mouthfeel abrades and abuses my tongue with its rabid carbonation. Tinny aftertaste. Overall... eh (shrug) frankcolub (49), Ashbury, Australia

| 1.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 3/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Apr 25, 2009 Pours medium amber with off-white head that retains fairly well. Nose kicks off with an immediate resemblance to ceylon black tea, slight citrus, and some metallic components as well. Light bodied ale that is rather tame with all flavors, starting with soft malt and quickly balanced by the hops that build well into the finish. Not sure that age will enhance this beer because it seems that once the hops mellow, there isn’t much left that is contemplative. Wim (1321), Turnhout, Belgium

Pours a thick, foggy amber colour with a thick, creamy white head; which lasts for a while. Has a very mild aroma, hints of caramel. The flavour doesn’t, surprising given the relatively high alcohol content, have a strongly alcoholic taste, is quite smooth, mildly bitter and the aftertaste is pleasant, but not very long lasting. All in all it is a wonderful brew! AgentSteve (1376), SF Bay Area, California, USA

Very little head, but massive amounts of yeast floating around that just doesn’t settle. Earthy red/brown.
Malts dominated aroma, toffee and toasty, some golden syrup. Very sweet, hints of apples.
Aroma carries through to the taste, losts of toffee and toasty malt, with a slightly vinuous character. Hints of alcohol, and some mild hops.
Some heat on the palate, lovely and creamy, very mild carbonation.
Loved this. Exceptional. viciousg42 (46), Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA
