Dark opaque brown with fluffy head. Aroma smells like bacardi rum. Flavor is horrible and my guess its due to an extremely old bottle? Who knows. Soem signs of caramel and raisin but other than this beer is so sweet it taste like liquid sugar.

12 oz bottle, The Beeryard, Wayne PA. Pours a clear dark brown with a ruby glow under a foamy one finger brown head. Nice retention with thick coating lacing. Aroma is sweetly malty with tons of fruity esters. Lots of banana, marshmellow, light yeast, and chewy malts. Flavor is all malt with lots of marzipan and soft fruitiness. Lots more banana up front as well. Finish is quite sweet with a little yeastiness. Mouthfeel is medium to full bodied with a slightly cloying texture and soft fine carbonation. Overall, pretty decent but not a whole lot of complexity and depth to the flavor, just lots of fruity sweetness.

Bottle. Appearance was a large tan fizzy head that was mostly lasting with poor lacing, opaque, and a dark brown hue. Malty, caramel, sweet, and fruity and ditto for the flavor. Smooth mouthfeel. Medium body. Quaffable.

Bottle. Dark brown with a beige head. Aromas are chocolate and coffee malts with sweet fudge and alcohol. Flavours are chocolate and caramel malts with bready yeast, cola and fudge. Quite spicy with a good level of sparkle. A malty treat of a beer.

[Bottled at Monk’s Café, Stockholm] Hazy dark red, lively rich head. Lightly tart with notes of wood and freshred berries. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel, lightly roasty with a touch of saccharine. Complex and beatifully flavourful.

Bottle sampled with stegosaurus. Pours brown with a light tan head. Aroma of fruit, citrus, and bread. The flavor is caramel, fruit, bread and citrus. Good beer.

I got a bottle as part of a Petrus sampler pack. The body is a very dark ruddy and thick brown. The head is light tan and long lasting. The aroma has some fresh dough with corn syrup. There is also a little bit of caramel. The taste is sweet toffee with some light coffee in the finish. There is also some bubblegum in the mouth after drinking a little. A decent brew, but a little sweet for me. I am obviously missing something that others liked.
