| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Nov 9, 2009 Bottle.
A deep ruby brown color with a medium-sized tanned head that leaves some lacings.
The smell is quite pleasant with gentle smoky aromas, caramel malts, juniper, tart fruits and wood.
The taste is somewhat sweet with a complementary tart fruity flavor. Kind of dense malty backbone and notes of caramel. Restrained, yet prominent smoky aromas. The juniper adds a nice fresh character to the beer. Hints of wood. The finish as a gentle bitterness to it and lingering malty flavors.
Medium body, slightly sticky texture with a nice dry finish.
I enjoyed this one, lovely balance between the smoke and tart fruity aromas. Easy to drink.
