triquito (6), Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada does not count Aug 21, 2008 Swingtop 1 L. bottle bought from B.C. liquor store. Reddish brown with a moderate head that fades fairly quickly. Caramel and nut aromas with hints of roasted malts, although not overdone. This beer has a moderate body with low carbonation. Chocolate and roast aftertaste. A good and well-balanced beer. fiulijn (5880), Como; Lausanne (CH); Malmö (SWE), Italy Aug 3, 2008 Draught at the brewpub Dark mahogany color. It has some roasted malt aroma. The flavor mixes caramel and roasted malt, creamy; it’s mild, inoffensive, with a medium-low bitterness. Not interesting. DuffMan (1962), Calgary, Alberta, Canada Mar 27, 2008 Clear brown, almond head with moderate retention. Low caramel, faintly nutty aroma. A little chocolatey, a little nutty, approachable. Unfortunately a little on the thin side for me, but that may be because it was preceded by some bigger beers earlier in the evening. Not bad. bitbucket (1570), Kirkland, Washington, USA Jan 9, 2008 Swingtop. Pours a hazy brown with a thin off-white head. Light toffee aroma. Medium body and light carbonation. Soft, round and nutty taste with just a touch of butter. Lightly roasty finish. joss (3144), Garching b. München, Germany Dec 9, 2007 bottle. Beautiful ruby brown, creamy brown head. Roasted, light sour nose. Lives up to its name, nutty roasted, light caramel notes. Chewy body mellow mouthfeel. Chocolate, roast aftertaste. Quite nice.
