KyotoLefty (1371), Kyoto, Japan Sep 13, 2009 Bottle.
Medium brown with a slight amber tint. Medium tan, fine head. Amber malt aroma with caramel, chocolate, raisins. Very sweet and biscuity, with caramel and cookies. Warm, medium to full bodied. Finish of sweet malt, then alcohol and hops. Turns bitter in the end, and lasts a while. A pretty enjoyable brew.
Tanker12 (121), USA Mar 23, 2009 Malty Aroma from the bottle. Taste is mild with some spices and it ends with a watery finish. Would not drink this is if was not in the mix pack Ron (1002), Rochester, New York, USA Feb 6, 2009 Bottle. Orange/amber color with nice head retention and lacing. Citrus and apricot aromas to go with some malt. Starts off sweet and malty before you get the alcohol kick. Enjoyable winter brew. jredmond (1015), New Jersey, USA Jan 2, 2009 12 oz bottle. Pours an amber body. Aroma is malt and caramel. Taste is okay - some alcohol. jb (1024), Rochester, New York, USA Dec 30, 2008 Interesting that its labeled English Strong. Oranges, toffee, Cinnamon aroma. Copper color with some off-white head + nice lacing pattern. English style palate, malty with some sort of English hop that is on the mild side. Nice, but not spectacular. Brewbie (217), New York, USA Dec 28, 2008 12oz bottle. cloudy dark gold. small lasting head. light spice and caramel aroma. not bad tasting, a little biter at first with a slight sweetness running thru it PilsnerPeter (2591), Flushing, New York, USA Dec 26, 2008 Bottle: Pours deep copper with an off white bubly film of head. Spicy and fruity in the nose, vague, with a touch of grain. Mild carbonation in the light body. A bit grainy in the taste with subdued husk notes and fruity off-flavors. A touch of alcohol and odd phenolic spiciness. Pretty boring. Rciesla (3510), Exit 15W, New Jersey, USA Dec 26, 2008 Updated: Mar 4, 2009Bottle. Pours an amber body with a white head. Fruity esters, and earthy hoppiness, a bit musky with a hint of copper. Light toasted malt and some citrus in the finish. Decent.
