| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 16, 2008 Courtesy hopscotch. Pours a dark brown color with a small tan head that settles to a thin film. The aroma shows notes of dark fruits, spices, and caramel malts. The flavor is straight forward as well with the dark fruits, sweet caramel, spices, and a woody taste also. A medium bodied mouthfeel with a lot of carbonation. Nothing too complex here, but it is pretty decent. asheft (1438), Marburg, Germany

Weak hoppy aroma with white cranberry and peach notes. Murky reddish brown with a nice lacy head. Peaty and musty flavour with grain and spicy melanoidins. Some bitter walnut and notes of raisin, white grape, and chocolate. Medium body with moderate carbonation and a very slightly clean finish. thewolf (5822), Kolding, Denmark

Pours red-brown with a thin head that only stays for a second. Aroma is pleasantly malty, light caramel, yeast and a fine, light hoppy streak. Low carbonation, okay mouthfeel. Flavour is somewhat dry, weakly vinious with some caramel notes. Pretty dry finish with okay hoppiness. Not spectacular. KimJohansen (7136), Copenhagen V, Denmark
