Pours a dark copper amber with a dissipating off white head. Medium bodied with a average carbonation. Faint aroma of sugary malts. Initial flavor of caramel and maple that has some berry fruitiness and very light spicy bitterness mid palate. Nice amount of residual sweetness. Clean finish. Not bad, and an interesting take on the style. gnoff (3570), Göteborg, Sweden

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Sep 21, 2007 Tap at RFD Washington. Rusty orange hue, with a beige-tinted, lasting head. Detailed aroma. Brown rice, honey, and caramel rolls with a traditional malt sweetness. Hickory smoke and meat, crusted cheddar and biscuit. Interesting. Metallic flavor, though strangely in a likable sense. Rich and full malt flavor has a hint of salted, crackery edge. Pear skin sweetness with a bitter chaser on the back. Thin to medium bodied palate resonates lager sweat. Dry, leafy finish. Quite a lovely example. iep (229), Amsterdam, Netherlands

| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Sep 20, 2007 Bottle. Poured an attractive copper color with slightly off-white head. Smell is of sweet maltiness. Taste is also malty, but also balanced with a slight nuttiness. Mouthfeel is nice and carbonation level is excellent. Lacing was good. Drinkability is high. Another style I have grown to appreciate. talon1117 (622), Bellvue, Colorado, USA
| 2.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Sep 20, 2007 Pours a clear rust color with an average,, off-white, pillowy head leaving a small frothy bit and minimal lace. Nose is dull with toasty malts and some typical lager notes. Flavor is some rich caramels and lightly toasted notes. Palate is medium-light, lively, and crisp. Finish is short and sweet and crisp. Just another typical Ofest, rich but boring.
