joshwilfong (769), Cleveland, Ohio, USA Jun 22, 2009 medium to dark red with large white head. moderately low carbonation nose of dark crystal malts. flavor starts with mild hop bitterness followed by a noticeable hop flavor then some upper lovibond crystal malts that give it a raison-like flavor, some residual sugar provide some sweetness and depth and some fruity esters. a great beer, not sure what style you would call it, not hoppy enough for a bitter and not malty enough for a barley wine floydian1 (255), FNQ, Australia Jun 21, 2009 500ml bottle into pint glass. A red-orange beer with a fluffy beige head providing good lacing down the glass. Noticeably malty nose with notes of dark dried fruits and warming spicy hops. Chewy malt driven palate with a nicely balanced dry fruity hop bitterness to the finish. Medium bodied with a smooth mouthfeel and thickish texture for the style. A excellent refined bitter well worth seeking out. Pinball (2693), Allerød, Denmark Jun 19, 2009 clear amber, giant thick light brown head.
hoppy and slightly citrussy aroma.
sweet, malty, caramelly, slightly dry flavor. sweetness and slight bitternes in the flavor lingers for long after you’ve sipped. very tasty and because of the dry hops, also quite drinkable almost quenching. MrGGen (221), Italy Jun 13, 2009 Colore rosso scuro ma vivo,schiuma beige chiaro cremosa e persistente.L’aroma è leggermente amaro, acido e lievemente maltato.Il gusto è amaro inizialmente e nel lungo finale con in mezzo sentori quasi floreali.Corpo asciutto e cremoso.Una ale davvero molto buona. OD40oz (600), Box Elder, South Dakota, USA Jun 10, 2009 I was pretty amped to give this one a try. Poured amber with a tan head. Caramel and malt aroma with a malty caramel taste. Somewhat bitter. Not as good as I expected. swanmann (304), Norman, Oklahoma, USA Jun 9, 2009 From the bottle, it poured clear rich amber color with fluffy tan head, good retention. Sweet caramel aroma with some alcohol. I get a very bready, pastry crust flavor, some warm roasted bitterness. A delicious English strong. KimJohansen (6676), Copenhagen V, Denmark Jun 8, 2009 Cloudy reddish amber with medium beige head. Rotten vegetables hit my nose along with some bloody awfull malts. Flavour was sweet with malt, caramel and floral hops. Had some earthiness to it. Mild bitter stuff.
