Apr 11, 2008 A nice dark chestnut brown with a little off-white head at the top, leaving a nice lace on the glass as I drank.
Smells of hops and earth, nothing really outstanding in the smell but by no means unpleasant.
Taste of hops and earth and some coffee, somewhat bitter. No negative aftertaste, but it did leave my mouth a bit dry.
This was a really good ale and if I didn’t have to get back to work I would have drank quite a few more.
Serving type: on-tap

Apr 9, 2008 Red/brown semi-clear with rather thick, lasting off-white head. Aroma is malty with nuts, fudge and hops. Taste is sweet with nuts and fruits/berries, and a bitter finish. Alcohol breaks through (which helps to keep you warm and cosy on a winter night). Runs thick.

Apr 8, 2008 pours dark amber/brown with huge tan head that leaves lacing all over. aroma is slightly figgy, light though...flavor is first very chocolatey, then a bit fruity. not a ton of alcohol flavor, but it will catch up with you.

Apr 6, 2008 Pours dark brown with a slightly tanned head. Fruity malt aroma. Nice spicy hop character on the flavor. A little bit of warming down the throat. Nicely carbonated. Good enough of a beer.

Apr 6, 2008 Aroma: Hoppy and chocolaty with a fair amount of alcohol coming through. Flavor is more hops and mocha but a very nice burnt character comes in as well. But unlike many ASAs, it isn’t just a hoppy stout/porter, it maintains an ipa/red ale-like malt base with the burnt character sitting along aside it. Mouthfeel is very smooth w/ very good carbonation level, but it could be a lil thicker. Tasty.

Apr 3, 2008 Flaske. Flot mørk ravfarvet øl. Kraftig duft af humle som også slår igennem i smagen, god maltbase til at bakke den op. Næsten helt op at ringe, men en smule ubalanceret alkoholsmag slår igennem til sidst. Men daym det er nogle lækre øl de får sig lavet.
