500 mL can. Dark, with slight mocha head. Roasted nuts, caramel malts. Astringent motor fuel underneath... Boozy finish. Decently crafted, but really not my kind of beer.

Pours an light amber colour with a slightly offwhite head. Aroma is sweet malt and dates. Taste is toffee, malt and purple fruits. Surprisingly good.

Very attractive deep amber color. Taste starts off sweet, and ends with an alcoholic after taste. Almost like medicine.

500mL Can. Dark brown pour with a whisper of a white head that fades faster than insert sexual innuendo here. Aroma was roast caramel malts, and alcohol. Taste was puzzling. Fruity fruity hops over power the sweet malts and just leave me wondering as to what I’m drinking. Finish is fruity and full-bodied with a alcohol tinge. Hmmmm.

Can. Clear dark amber pour with quickly receding beige head. Lots of red fruity malt and some alcohol in the aroma. Taste is very malty and quite heavy with some thin carbonation. Not bad at all.

500 ml can shared with a friend on 09.09.12 : Dark brown and crystal clear . Med carbonation beige head. Overally sweet with roasted note this one is tasty and easy to drink.

This poured (from the can, thankfully no "tinned" taste) with a nice dark amber colour and a large but short-lived off-white head. Aroma was nicely malted, and the taste was as well.
