Vanilla oak aroma. Strong rich bitter and malt taste. Very mellow lightly tangy, no harsh edges. Vanilla, oak, slightly smoky. Hoppy bitter finish - quite long at that. So mellow even my mum liked it! Maria (6309), Thisted, Denmark
| 2.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 8/20 | Sep 2, 2007 Deep amber with a descent head. The aroma has notes of hops, cherries and vanilla. The aroma hops are found in the flavour too, where the vanilla comes along and steals the picture in a intrusive and dominating way. The finish has notes of cherries, citrus and caramel. gunnfryd (3603), Kristiansand, Norway
| 2.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 2/5 | 10/20 | Apr 7, 2007 Bottle. Dark golden colour with an off-white head. Aroma is tropical fruit, malt. Flavour is hop, malt, tropical fruits.sweet and bitter finish. Unbalanced, but nice try. yngwie (5000), Kristiansand, Norway
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Apr 6, 2007 Bottled. Clear, a bit pale, golden beer with a small, off-white head. Malt, bubble-gum and fruity hops in the aroma, who feels a bit like artificial tropical fruits. Both sweet and bitter flavor with tropical fruits, hops and malt. Medium body and a long bitter finish. Quaffable, but I would like some more malt in it. (070331) bhensonb (4358), Woodland, California, USA
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 12/20 | Mar 26, 2007 Aromas of vanilla, citrus hop and light malt. Delicious. Coppery gold color with minimal white head. Starts with a definite vanilla flavor, moves to malt, with stone fruit and seems to finish with decent hoppy bitterness. downender (2629), Bristol, Gloucestershire, England
| 1.9 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 3/10 | 2/5 | 7/20 | Mar 19, 2007 500ml bottle from Bottoms Up. Can only agree with other comments about over-powering taste of vanilla which totally dominated. Aftertaste reminiscent of wet cardboard. Poor.
