| 2.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 25, 2008 Had this at The European Beer Festival, Kobenhaven, 12-09-08. Full flavoured and with plenty of toffee and caramel. This beer poured mid amber, with quickly fading light beige had. I found this just a little too sticky and even a little sacchriney at times.

| 2.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Sep 24, 2008 Bottle. High creamy and long lasting off-white head. Clear dark amber body. Weak and sweet malt aroma without hops bitterness, just a bit of caramel and some grassy notes plus alcohol. Flavor also too sweet caramel with just a hint of roasted malt. Alcohol can barely be spotted. Low carbonation. Short aftertaste. I guess the brewer has tried to hide the high alcohol percentage with sweetness. He has succeeded in this but unfortunately the beer is too anonymous. TBone (6801), Pori, Finland
