TinyTim (22), Perth, Australia Sep 21, 2008 I was worried when the head flowed out of the bottle a little, but there was nothing wrong with it. This is a very nice, very subtle, dark lager. The smokey flavour is very light and is complimented by some tasty porter-esque chocolatey malts. Nothing is too heavy or sticks out harshly, and the finish is pleasant. It was not quite what I was expecting but I would imagine this beer is very true to the style, and is surprisingly quite refreshing. gam (679), brisbane, Australia Jul 27, 2008 Medium bubbly head on a red/brown ale carbonation mild.Aroma smokey,malt caramel coconut.Flavour caramel maltiness,choclate is mild,smokeyness is decent,lack of coffee taste.Finish malty mild flavours,good session dark ale. sinkas (175), Perth/Fremantle, Australia Jul 12, 2008 On tap Perth Food and Wine Show,
sour and acrid diacetyl and vomit on the nose and on the palate, truly woeful, why serve this at a show? Oakes (7047), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jun 10, 2008 Golden-brown colour. Vanilla nose with caramel notes. Slightly smokey, toffeeish, tea-like. Fairly thin body with a finish that gets grainy and metallic late. Beershine (1526), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 10, 2008 Bottle, special procurement. Amber color. Not quite a dunkel hue but looks pleasant enough. Lots of rising bubbles. Vanilla-forward nose. Some cream. Sweetish body. thin. Chocolate with metallic hop finish. Solid sweetness is rounded by a mildly hopped finish. Tastes a lot like a cream beer but not a bad effort.
