MiP (6721), Flensburg, Germany Sep 6, 2008 Can, 4.7%. OK malty aroma. Clear chestnut colour, no head. The flavour starts off OK malty, turns a bit acidic. Sourish bitterness in the finish. KimJohansen (5208), Copenhagen V, Denmark Aug 4, 2008 Clear amber with medium off white head. Sweet aroma with woasted malt and caramel notes. Sweet flavor with roasted malt and cardboard notes. Ends sweet. esox (155), Oulu, Finland Jul 1, 2008 Bottled. I had this one only very slightly chilled. Dark brownish to amber colour. Large and somewhat creamy head. Sweetish aroma has syrupy malts, light roastedness and aromatic hops. Sweet raisins and also a hint of peppery spiciness. Flavor is sweetish with a slightly bitter finish. Some lemon is present in the finish. Smooth mouthfeel and soft carbonation. A bit thin, but not watery. I liked this one quite much, actually. bierkoning (5128), La Tropica, Netherlands May 14, 2008 Bottle from TBone, thanks! Dark brown color. Caramel, cardemom and cinnamon in the aroma. Grainy sweet flavor, spices noticeable as in the aroma. Thinnish and a bit sticky mouthfeel. Not too bad. raymondwave (823), Finland Dec 19, 2007 0.33 l bottle. Darkish amber. Syrup, caramel, some burnt malts. Pretty good and tasty for 4.5 %, yet nothing really special. A solid performer in it’s style. I could take this to christmas table.
