Bit of woodiness, some syrupy malt. It’s got some decent malt and toffee, bit sweet, got a bit of mustiness on the finish. Not wonderful to be honest. TBone (6850), Pori, Finland

Amber color with a big cloudy head. Aroma has lots of sweetish yeast, wheat and lemon. Medium-bodied. Woody oaky flavor dominates flavor, then sweet fruity yeast. Hops and alcohol come in the finish. Personal and quite enjoyable. Maria (6323), Thisted, Denmark
| 3.1 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Feb 18, 2007 Warm amber with a nice and lasting head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel/malt. The mouthfeel is full and the flavour is sweet, malty and citrussy and the maturing in the oak barrels is evident. The finish is spicy and I think it’s juniper I find... bierkoning (6100), La Tropica, Netherlands
| 2.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 2/5 | 9/20 | Jul 15, 2003 Beer gushes out of the bottle. Huge head. Only slight juniper aroma, the malt dominates.mSweet, malty flavor with juniper berries and genever, slightly artificial. This beer is much more balanced as the Rader Blonde, although the alcohol dominates. Emil (6074), Copenhagen, Denmark

not sure about this one. sweet and spicy. the alcohol is hidden reasonably well. creamy and syrupy full bodied. quite lively in the palate. maybe a touch too sweet. undecided... thewolf (5829), Kolding, Denmark
| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 5/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Mar 21, 2008 Bottle. [thank you, Yespr] Pours a beautiful deep amber with a stunning, big, creamy white head. Good duration with lots of bubbles reaching up from the bottom of my glass. Aroma is lightly funky, some oak along with prunes, oranges, raisins and yeast. High to medium carbonation, rather light feel. Flavour is rather sweet, lots of caramel - the dark fruits are still there, but more subdued than in the aroma. A light nuttyness sets in with the aftertaste along with a good warming viniousness. Good brew and a bit underrated imo.
