Dark brown with red tint, head was beige and creamy. Sweet caramel smell. Sweet taste of spice and caramel.

Bottle. Dark amber colour with a huge light brown head. Aroma of malts and fruits. Good beer.

Gust of marmite-sodden yeastiness from beneath the freshly-prised cap. An aroma that should be awarded an ABV. Marmite AND strawberries?? Apparently so. Deep red resolving into a swirly beige scum, clumped with dense patches of foam. Sweet malty strawberry finishing with a pleasing lactose-stouty sourness (Mackeson?). Yep, incredibly, that’s what it reminds me of. Lovely stuff, but should be illegal. (Re-rate 01/06/07 Odd but not unpleasant balsamic chip shop batter nose. Orange, liquorice, brown sugar. Stirred with a Twiglet. Good, but nothing like as good as it seemed a year ago.

This beer has a dark brown body - hue apperance and a fine light brown scum collar. I have drunk the beer from the a bottle and it had a no carbonic acid. The initial flavor taste is very sweet with a light bitter afther tast.

very dark color, thin head, full aroma of caramel, nuts, chocolate, coffee, very sweet and lots of alcohol.

330 ml bottle. Average white head. Coarse bubbles. Dark brown color with a red hue. Sugary caramel aroma. Surprisingly little aroma. Flavour is very sweet with notes of raisins, candy sugar and figs. Alcohol is dominating the palate. Complex flavours, but a tad too sweet.
