Defreni (994), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 31, 2008 Flaske. Flot mørk ravfarvet øl. Intet bundfald men en kraftig duft af malt. Smagen er frugtig maltet på en særdeles fyldig måde. Virkelig flot øl, med et strejf af kanel til sidst i smagen. mjs (1445), Helsinki, Finland May 25, 2008 (0.33 l bottle) Deep amber colour and clear. Malts in nose. Watery palate. Some malts in taste. Hints of raisin. Little bitterness in aftertaste. Somewhat boring. bhensonb (4182), Woodland, California, USA May 25, 2008 330 ml. bottle. Pours a clear dark copper amber color with a significant beige head. Aroma of rather dark malt with a suggestion of cherry(?) dark fruit. Medium body with fizzy, creamy carbonation. Alcohol is noticeable. The flavor is dark caramel with something like a cherry hop bitter (light cherry). Finishes rather dry, and the bitter builds up. Cherry pits? Some sort of darkish stone fruit. It is very, very good. Labarde (22), Australia May 13, 2008 Fruity nose with big spice and orange scents. Pours a lovely amber colour with good lacing and a big head that lasts well. Flavour is fruity and spicy with definite citrus. Mouthfeel smooth and fizzy. Finishes with a slightly unpleasant creeping bitterness and subtle alcohol notes. tomciccateri (496), Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA Apr 23, 2008 33cl bottle labeled 8.2%. Pours a deep amber color with a slightly white head. Medium body, big malty flavor, slightly sour character with a late mellow alcohol note. Well done. Dredd (484), Ormond, Australia Apr 22, 2008 Nice ruby colour with white head. The aroma is a sweet raisin with some complex ethers circling around.
Flavour is juicy with cherry/berry like flavours bursting out that finish with some dark sugars and mild bitterness. Very nice beer. espenra (277), Oslo, Norway Apr 19, 2008 Updated: Aug 10, 200833cl bottle from Barley WIne. It poured an amber color with a big creamy white head that settles slowly in the glass. The aroma smells of fruits and malts. It has a bitter-sweet flavour and tastes of malts, fruits. It has a medium long aftertaste. Bullit (1300), Glasgow, Scotland Apr 16, 2008 Copper red colour, tan head. Aroma has some sweet, red fruits. Flavour has some caramel malts. Alcohol well noticable. Average.
