Bottle @ Chris_o shindig 2007. Unclear amber color with a average, frothy, fair lacing, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty and yeasty, banana, toffee, sugar. Flavor is moderate sweet with a long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft.

Bottle, 10%. Very dark chestnut colour. Looks flat. Very small light brown head. Weak vinous aroma. The flavour is quite malty and nicely so. Only a little pepper and bitterness to balance. Quite sweet, but I like it. Too low carbonation, though. 6 4 7 3 18

Bottle. 7 months past BB date, but now it is really good. Good malty aroma. Cloudy dark brown colour. Good malty aroma, some malt syrup. The flavour has some of the same notes as the aroma. Sweet and creamy, quite alcoholic finish. Still good after a few years of lagering. 8 3 8 3 16

Bottled. Hazy nutbrown colour with small beigeish head. Aroma is spices, yeast, malts and caramel. Flavour is honey, hops, caramel and sweet malts. Very nice, and keeps the alcohol away from flavour, but it does indeed give a nice warming feeling while going down.

Bottle, shared by MiP. Thanks! Cloudy brownish-amber. Autolyzed aroma with chewy molasses. Smooth and soft, with more molasses character. Decent brew, but with little nuance.
