| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 8/10 | 2/5 | 15/20 | Feb 1, 2009 Bottled 33cl. Courtesy of Bov. Appearance: It pours a murky brown beer with a small, quick diminishing beige head. Not much lacework. Aroma: Complex nose with hints of tomato, old cigarette smoke, home made caramel and pineapple. Flavor and palate: Slightly watery. High carbonation. Blueberries, incense, sage, rosemary, home made caramel and pineapple appearing. Malty. Spritzy palate. Slight acidity. Highly drinkable. Malty finish. Overall impression: The palate feels inappropriate. Surprisingly light bodied. Otherwise very pleasant. Thanks Bov! OSLO (829), Minnesota, USA
| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Jan 30, 2009 [Bottle] Pours reddish-amber with a huge off-white head. Semi-sweet aroma, notes of smoke, banana, toffee, caramel, and yeast. Very faint chocolate at first as well that increased in strength when it warmed. Taste doesn’t have anything that stands out, except for some alcohol. Other than that it is quite malty and I detected caramel, hazelnut, and a touch of plum. Not really that impressive. Average mouthfeel. I found this one to be a bit of a letdown. fata2683 (932), Panama City, Florida, USA
