I told him the beer was amazing, but the label needed major work. He proceeded to tell me he'd made the label himself and spent weeks on it. Oops. Back to the beer, it's safe to say I can hardly think of anything I'd rather drink than this beer. It's even better than Xingu. A knockout aroma and sweet maltiness that's worldclass. Magnifique!

| 4.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | May 9, 2005 Ruby-brown, medium carbonation with classic crown on top. Superb appearance. I know those hops in my nose; they quiet bitter but not in big crude way. They gentle but not shy in any aspect .Mild sweet malt behind. Very refreshing. Prefect balanced taste. Smooth medium bodied enough brown malt with hints of roast. Sweet chewy malt and gentle reminder of hops. Solid mastercraft. This beer proves that it does not need to be huge and bold with 100 IBUs to be great. iam (369), Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Oct 21, 2005 Pours mahogany coloured with a thin foamy head. Beautiful caramel and roasted malt aroma with a nice touch of floral hops. Great taste of lightly roasted malt with some initial sweetness. There’s lots of hop bitterness but it seems so much more refined and balances compared to the high test IBUs. biergirl (7), Clemmons, North Carolina, USA does not count | 4.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 17/20 | Jun 14, 2002 Very impressed.

| 3.8 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jan 27, 2005 Pours a dark reddish brown with practically no head. The aroma had vanilla, caramel and malts, plus a bit of Pilsner Urquel. I also picked that up in the taste. The taste was solid with malt, vanilla, caramel and plum. The mouthfeel was very good. That was my favorite part of it. I got this in the beer of the month club shipment and it was a nice surprise. doublebock (196), USA
