specksnreds (55), USA Apr 19, 2008 Full malt backbone. Not too much carbonation with lacey pour. Low bitterness. A flowery sweetness in the first sip. I like it, and always have. A model of consistency from year to year.

Small white head. Sweet malty nose. Full bodied palate with lot of carbonation. Malts, hint of roastedness, some alcohol, boiled vegetables and bitterness in taste. Sweetness and bitterness in aftertaste. FlyingSwine (143), Littleton, Colorado, USA Nov 27, 2008 Pours a gin clear amber with a super thin off-white head. Some carbonation..no lacing. Aroma is fruity, with hints of bitter-sweet chocolate malts. Flavor is consistent with the aroma, with a touch of alcohol (brandy/port). Palate is light-med bodied, slighty water and slick. Overall a very enjoyable, highly drinkable dark lager.
