cbkschubert (1611), Rattlesnake Country, Arizona, USA May 21, 2008 750 ml bottle - Pours a hazy brown color with a large off white head. Aroma is toasted malt. Flavor is toasted malt and light esters. Medium body. A decent beer but one I will probably not buy again.
yespr (6943), Copenhagen O, Denmark Oct 12, 2008 75 cL bottle. Pours dark brown and hazy with a lacing off-white head. Aroma is a mix of caramel, hops and rye malt. Smooth flavoured with hops and a light caramel sweetness and to a nice rye flavoured base body. Easy breadish finish with a light uplifting fruity accent from the hops. ChainGangGuy (1602), Kennesaw, Georgia, USA Sep 26, 2008 On tap at Taco Mac located in Kennesaw, GA on Chastain Road (Chastaino Mac).
Appearance: Clear, dark chestnut brown body with a small, white head.
Smell: Aroma of toasty caramel, chocolate, cherries, and golden raisins.
Taste: Rich medley of chocolate, burnt caramel, and fruit flavors upfront with a medium amount of sweetness. The fruitiness subsides, allowing a touch of alcohol to take its place. Hint of Slight encroaching spiciness from the rye grains and hops. Warming, long finish with all of the flavors simply not wanting to let go and say "goodbye".
Mouthfeel: Medium-bodied. Medium carbonation.
Drinkability: I’d had one of the original bottles back in the day and, well, didn’t like it one bit. This, however, is much better. Aurelius (2507), Tallahassee, Florida, USA Sep 20, 2008 Honey and malt aroma, slightly tannic, slightly floral. Misty, tea-colored with a thin ringing head. Clear, sweet, lightly bitter, a graham cracker maltiness. Medium body, bitter and twangy on the front of the tongue. Medium -long bitter finish. Good and interesting. pilsnerrogge (1609), Finspång, Sweden Sep 18, 2008 <i>75 cl corked and caged bottle:</i><br />Pours dark reddish brown with a slight haze. Head is big and foamy. Aroma is sweet with notes of berries; red currants and blueberries. Flavour is sweet with notes of caramel and aniseed. The finish is long and really bitter. WeeHeavySD (1867), San Diego (Hillcrest), California, USA Sep 18, 2008 750 I bought a ways back at the Vienna Virginia Whole Foods. That cork was a total bitch to get out. Pours orange with a 1 finger tan head. Nose is smoky and malty with notes of rye. Taste has some more smoke in it with some nice rye notes, tasty brew.
