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. discbanshee (5), Alabama, USA does not count | 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 18/20 | Feb 29, 2008 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. douglas88 (1685), Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

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. ekstedt (2456), Göteborg, Sweden
| 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 11/20 | Feb 27, 2008 Updated: Feb 9, 2009Bottle (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. epf33 (222), Fairfax, Virginia, USA

| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Feb 22, 2008 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. MrBunn (1563), Western, Pennsylvania, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Feb 21, 2008 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! sk8terboy240 (3), toledo, Ohio, USA does not count | 3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Feb 21, 2008 A mild winter ale, that is somewhat drying on the palate. Could do better, but could be much worse.
