Bottle. Pours an amber color with an off-white head. Aroma is of malts and fruit. Flavor is a little bitter with a slight taste of bananas. Not bad.

Sampled at St Pete Creative Loafing Beerfest. Very smooth but like a macro. Pours nice and brown.

12oz bottle. Pours an amber color with creamy light-tan head. Not much lacing. Smell of fresh baked bread, nutty malt with some toffee. Tastes of pale malt flavors. Some roasted nuttiness and burnt caramel. A small part of bitter citrus from hops. Finishes a bit bitter.

Bottle. Cold. A bit bitter of a finish and somewhat harsh. Almost makes your cheeks pucker.

Bottle. A soft sweet smell, a little bit of liqueur, syrup and nut. The rather small creamy beige head disappeared rather fast. The body is orange-red. In the beginning the taste is light soft, the finish is more bitter. The duration is normal. The body is medium strong, dry and creamy with normal carbonation. A nice beer.

Bottled. Clear, reddish copper-coloured beer with a firm, medium-sized blond head. Malty aroma is sweet honyish and bisquity. Flavor is sweetish, honyish and mellow. Minor bitterness in the finish. Palate is ligth to medium bodied, slick and guite smooth. A bit thin and carbonated.

355ml bottle bought at Luvians in St Andrews. Deep ebony body with a slowly fading head. Juicy malts to the nose. Rather discreet hints of berries and sweet fruits in flavour. Smooth bittersweet ending. Soft carbonated [10.11.2008].

Bottle. Poured amber with medium lasting white head. Malty and hay aroma. Moderate body, with some bread notes with the malt. Slight hop bite in the slim finish. Drinkable, and probably better on a hot day.
