dyetube (397), Dallas, Texas, USA Jan 12, 2007 This beer pours a deep amber with a large tan head leaving some good lacing down the sides. On the nose I can smell the malts, kinda sweetish and spicy. This is one very drinkable beer... It’s not gonna fill me up! I like this beer and will buy it again! Cheers! starfireming (309), Richmond, Virginia, USA Jan 7, 2007 Hazy brown body and a bubbly off-white head. Very malty aroma and rich browned malt flavour. A little fruit underneath, more toward the end. beerheart (237), Erie, Colorado, USA Jan 7, 2007 Updated: Feb 10, 2008Brown pour with amber and mahogany highlights. Nice lite tan head. Spicy bread aroma. Sweet malts. Full bodied. Finishes with roasted hops and coffee. Stefano (1322), Esbjerg, Denmark Jan 1, 2007 Orangish-brown and almost clear with a lacy beige cover. Toffee malt blends nicely with Goldings and some citrus in the aroma. Great malt flavor with a dried fruit finish. Dates and prunes. Good mouthfeel caps off this top-notch beer.
EithCubes (2140), Indiana, USA Dec 31, 2006 Bottle. Smells strongly of toast malt with chocolate and faint yeast. Rich, deep amber pour with lively carbonation and a full, large, thick, lacing, immobile tan head – one of the prettier beers of the year. Taste: toast and a gentle fruitiness that really tacks on the bonus points, coffee, chocolate, caramel, dark earthiness, light yeastiness, light wood, nuts. Classy, restrained bitterness and a firm mouthfeel, but not overly crisp. Full dry body, hearty undercurrents of flavor, tons of malt. Touch of warming from the otherwise undetectable alcohol. Could probably drink a keg of this stuff. Long, dry aftertaste contains light bitterness and all the best notes of caramel, toast, earthy chocolate, etc. Light hops in the finish, but they’re slight. Balanced, rounded, complex, refined…simply lovely, simply world class! chubbyhubby (11), England Dec 28, 2006 Deep tan colour with small but fine beige head. Aroma is malty and fruity with some toffee and nuts. Flavor is, as said in the commercial description, almost fruit cake like.
britishalenerd (11), USA Dec 28, 2006 Aroma is very hard to detect...very faint cola notes is all I pick up. Light brown with a firm finger thick head. I get the fruit cake notes mentioned the Commercial Descrip. and in fact this is VERY bready. Mild spice in there as well. The cake/bread notes are extremely long lasting and start from the middle and stay well into the aftertaste. I like beers like this that have a feel good aftertaste that lingers a long while Marsiblursi (1631), Göteborg, Sweden Dec 26, 2006 Updated: Jan 6, 2007(Bottle) Pours mahogany red. Spicy, fruity, toffee, bread aroma with hints of chocolate, hops and brown sugar.Flavour of dark bread, grapefruit and chocolate. Spicy, medium citric bitter finish. No smotth. pretty bitter and harsh mouthfeel. medium body.
