I’m not quite sure what to make of this one. Kinda unattractive red body with a thin tan head. Smells like buttered toast, covered in molasses and sugar, held by a hand that was just holding old pocket change. The taste, though, is firmly malt accented, almost like a super traditional low grav Old Ale. Peppery spiciness, molasses, honey, roastiness, and chocolate. Honestly a quite tasty beer, but I’m not big on the smell. Also, the aftertaste gets a bit medicinal after it warms a little. Meh, not bad, not great.

Flying Dog has done it again. The K-9 cruiser is a great hoppy beer that goes down clean and crisp. Has a nice deep amber color and a strong wheat taste. Has an initial sweetness that ends with a great bitter taste that stays on the tongue without being overwhelming.

Bottle. Pours a awesome dark red with a thin head. The aroma and taste are both really light and don’t stand out. I don’t dislike this beer in any way, it’s just hard to say what is there. Some fruit and malts, also some light hops. Decent.

Bottle (35 cl) at Bishops Arms, Göteborg, Sweden. Deep reddish copper with a medium beige head. Fruity and nutty malt aroma, with a belgian caramelly touch, and hints of cherries, along with earthy and herbal hops. Still a bit one-dimensional. Medium bodied and smooth. A bit sweet with a moderate bitterness in the finish.

Pours clear crimson with a medium average lived beige head. Malt and spices in the nose typical of the style. Taste is a touch of cardboard stale malt like flavor. Toasty, spiced malt as well. Thin flavor and body and some metallic notes. Drinkable but unremarkable.

Bottle. Pours a dark brown with very little head. After a few seconds there are a few lonely bubbles skating around on the surface. Aromas are muted malts with a touch of firewood. Flavor is somewhat thin at first, but fills out as it sits on the palate. Dark malt, a touch of nuts and wood, with a fair dose of sweetness. Ho hum!

A mild winter ale, that is somewhat drying on the palate. Could do better, but could be much worse.
