bozoNZ (370), Christchurch, New Zealand May 3, 2008 330ml bottle. Dark brown with red highlights full fluffy tan head that settles out quick. wafts of dark malt syrup with faint chlorine(?) character. Milk chocolate, sweet malty and slight woody / burnt notes. One dimensional and goes nowhere in the finish. A little metallic carbonation also.
beer_ledgend (807), Meadowbank Auckland, New Zealand Oct 13, 2008 dark red in colour with caramel coloured head. malty/biscity flavours, short mouthfeel and thin. SamGamgee (593), Santa Cruz, California, USA Oct 11, 2008 12oz bottle. Dark brown with almost no head. Metallic and lightly burnt aroma. Thin, buttery, lightly caramelized flavor. Light bodied with prickly carbonation. Ya, this does suck. troyc (978), Lubbock, Texas, USA Oct 9, 2008 (Bottle) Pours a light brown color with a small tan head. Sweet caramel and some dry cocoa in the aroma. Taste includes some brown sugar, toffee and caramel malts. Body was a little on the light side. Could use more malt. Better than I expected... and much better than regular Heineken. DrDavid (364), Johnson, Vermont, USA Sep 21, 2008 (Bottle). Sweet caramel aroma. Deep reddish brown color, large light brown head. Flavor is all caramel and sweet breadiness. Low carbonation, watery mouthfeel. Best part is the finish, which lingers with a malty semi-sweetness. mcjay (88), Neenah, Wisconsin, USA Sep 20, 2008 Deep amber tone with a creamy tan head that disappeared quickly. Light malty aroma and taste with a slightly bitter finish. Smooth on the palate but a little lacking. Not Bad.
