Pours deep chestnut brown with a big, creamy, beige hed. Fine duration and leaves nice lacings. Lightly tarty aroma, some roasted malts and sweetness. Light carbonation, fine mouthfeel, a bit thin perhaps. Flavour is very sugary sweet, light roasted, some nuts, but this is very sweet and almost like the Danish "nisse-øl". larsga (2980), Oslo, Norway

| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 30, 2008 Thanks 17thfloor! Pours black with a very small white foamy head. Aroma is very sweet, a lot lot lot like processed candy corn. Malty with a small bit of alcohol that is apparent even in a 3.9% ABV. Flavor starts and ends sugary sweet. Very caramely and overly sugary. Getting to be like candybeer. Too much residual sugar, this one needed more time in the fermenter. A tiny bit of smokiness in the finish. Medium body and average carbonation. Way too sweet with little else to offer. oldrtybastrd (1823), Morlautern, Germany/Great Falls, Montana, USA

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Oct 19, 2008 0.5l bottle in Berlin. Aroma was strong of nuts and malt. Poured a thick black with no head. Palate was smooth, and quite similar to a cola. Taste was incredibly sweet and malty, with hints of nuts. 17thfloor (1507), Chicago, Illinois, USA
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Oct 1, 2008 Pours a milky black with a small beige froth, pour lacing. Huge tobacco aroma, dirt, hay and light roast. First taste is super sweet, tastes like someone dumped an entire jar of sugar in a small cup of coffee. Some chocolate, but sooo much sugar. Lightly smokey. Its not a bad cup of coffee... just a lot of sugar. Smooth creamy, lightly syrupy body.
