JohnnyJ (1282), Carlsbad, California, USA Aug 7, 2006 A good beer, but nothing amazing. Pours a brown/red. Has a very standard beer aroma with some fruit and chocolate. Flavor of strong generic beer, dried fruit, and a little chocolate. Kind of a peppery taste with a good amount of bitterness. henrikb (1298), Aarhus, Denmark Aug 7, 2006 Brown body, red shine, creamy beige head; Fresh fruity nose, some malt, but mostly fresh fruit like apple and pear; Soft body, at the same time fruit acidy with some sharp carbonation; Bitter acidy finish with lots of malt. Alright but not very interesting. ohnoitskristin (62), Santa Cruz, California, USA Aug 5, 2006 1 pint 0.9 oz bottle, enjoyed this beer immsensely! Poured a nice deep color with caramel and a slightly white head. Deep, rich malt with chocolate flavors, very smooth on the palate as well and ended strong. Definate purchase sometimes soon. PilsnerPeter (2585), Flushing, New York, USA Jul 19, 2006 Updated: Jun 16, 2008I was impressed with this ale. Nice brown/orange color with an off-white creamy head. Immense malt character with chocolate flavor and a peppery element. Has notes of bitter fruits. The strong hop finish balances the extreme malt charcter. Very enjoyable ale. Haack (101), Hornslet, Denmark Jul 18, 2006 Nice head and an dark amber colour. A nice bitter taste of hops. Perhaps a little to bitter for my taste but then again it is a strong ale with a strong taste.! davidflores99 (225), Long Beach, California, USA Jul 14, 2006 Had this from a bottle, dark amber appearance with a nice head. Aroma was sweet and spicy and flavors were slightly bitter, but real nice. An exceptional brew. onystrom (741), Århus-Randers Crew, Denmark Jul 14, 2006 Beautiful dark amber color with great head. Burnt aroma. Burnt malty flavor with too much bitter hops. Rune (2748), Tromsø, Norway Jul 12, 2006 500ml bottle conditioned ale bought at the great St Albans Beer Festival 2005 (going back there this year). The beer has a deep mahogany colour topped with a medium lasting off-white, thick head. Inviting sweet aroma of caramel malt. Full bodied. Rich flavours of dried fruit, hops and roasted malt. Solid bitterness in a lingering aftertaste. Very tasty after more than nine months in the cellar.
