Murky brown beer.
Malty, lots of alcohol warmth, enough hops to cope with the rest and balance everything out. scraff (1955), Baltimore, Maryland, USA
| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Feb 27, 2008 Dark crimson and copper, creamy off white head. Nose was soft with earthed toffee and citrus notes layered over mango cream and cherry-like tones. Well hopped earthy citrus flavors balance on a lightly sweetened malt backbone. Full bodied, medium carbonation, dry, bittersweet finish. I think some cellar time would round out the edges. Still a decent winter sipper though... ThomasE (5178), Copenhagen, Denmark
