Hansen (2235), Randers, Denmark Oct 3, 2008 Sweet, malty aroma, perhaps a hint of smoke. Colour is medium brown and clear. Has an off-white head, mostly lasting. Flavor starts heavy sweet and finish only lightly bitter. Syrup texture. Rune (2748), Tromsø, Norway Oct 3, 2008 Can at Plan B, Copenhagen. Courtesy of reakt. Jet black with a brownish foam and fragile laceworks on the glass. Roasted aroma. Roasted grain in flavour with a fair amount of sweet caramel. Dry and woody in the mouth. Quite low carbonation. Drinkable, but far too sweet (15.09.2008). clong83 (243), San Diego, California, USA Oct 1, 2008 Whoa. Nice and malty nose, with some sweetness. Taste is of crystal and light caramel. Heavy mouthfeel, good carbonation. Sticky and crisp finish. Burns a little but not bad. Excellent beer. explosivebeer (36), Washington, USA Sep 29, 2008 This beer pours a nice clear dark brown. The aroma has caramel and toffee present. It has a good body and great flavor, with lots of malt and a nice, sweet finish. This is definitely one of the better beers you can find in a can. Then again, I guess you can say that for the entire Oskar Blues line. JoeinUccle (902), Brussels, Belgium Sep 28, 2008 Nice looking ruddy-brown beer, fading tan head. Nose is caramel malty with some fruit punch and hops thrown in. Starts lightly sweet and fruity before going into a serious bitterness, caramel-malty backdrop. Bittersweet aftertaste. Tasty all-around beer. bb (2905), Martinez, California, USA Sep 22, 2008 Can. Blackish beer with red highlights and a nice tan head. Malty, caramel aroma. Malty, caramel, and light fruit flavor. Fuller bodied. Caramel, malt, and light earth lingers. Not bad. demitriustown (689), Shelby Township, Michigan, USA Sep 22, 2008 12 oz can: Dark reddish/brown pour with a thick tan head that lingers. Aroma is really rich malt, toffee, caramel, and a bit of dark fruit mixed in the bunch. Taste is rich caramel malt, a bit of smokiness, plums, and a little bit of chocolate. Palate is tongue coating and rich. Overall, It’s a very nice beer out of a can, and even if it came in a bottle I would try this one again and again. Cheers! changeup45 (782), Orlando, Florida, USA Sep 20, 2008 Pours a slightly hazy dark brown color with a very thin head that quickly settles down to almost nothing. The aroma consists of lots of chocolate and caramel with some molasses and figs in there as well. Roasted caramel malty flavor with chocolate and some dark fruits. Slightly peppery in the finish. This didn’t drink nearly as thick as I was expecting and actually the mouthfeel was a little thin. Good but not great.
