50 cl bottle as pictured, Fargo, ND, USA. Thick foamy head (maybe a result of my bad pour). Heavily roasted hazelnut aroma with coffee and sweet caramel. Smooth, medium body, sweet cola-like taste with a very sweet cherry tinged finish.

Dec 8, 2009 bready yeasty pale lagery flavors with the addition of some light coffee-ish roastiness and mildly bitter hoppiness. Just enough going on to be decent. Could use a bit more in the flavor / body departments though. Smells better than it tatses. The crazy head doesn’t last long. Kinda disappointing. I’ve been liking a lot of these lighter beers lately, as long as they are well made. Thought this would be a roasty refresher, but its just okay

Oct 30, 2009 Dark malt and caramel aroma. Dark brown and tan head, roasted malt, creamy finish. Lingering roasted malt flavor on the palate. This is a very solid beer.

Oct 30, 2009 Dark reddish brown; thick, creamy, tan head. Sour aroma of dirt, caramel, malt, and roast; maybe a touch of vanilla. Nice flavor with caramel and coffee and smoke, and perhaps some dark fruit. Mouthfeel is medium-thin but perhaps appropriate for the style. Not my favorite style but actually really (surprisingly) solid all the same.

Oct 25, 2009 Serving: Draft.
Appearance: Very dark brown with a large, light tan head. Good head retention and good lacing.
Aroma: Slightly sour, vegetal nose with some dark, roasted notes.
Flavor: Woody with notes of earth, smoke, and malt. It has a nice back bitterness. A pleasing change from the nose.
Palate: Medium carbonation with a medium, dry mouthfeel and a medium finish.
Overall: I liked the dry, woody notes in this one. I could certainly throw back a few of these.
