A very dark brown, near black color beige head. Sweet malt with some burnt toast & mocha scents. Sweet, of course honey with some earthy tones and light bitter follow. Decent enough but lacks that certain quality that makes it stand out. On a side note, a case of SA variety pack was given to me by the local SA rep after I told him what happened to my last shipment. Thanks Mike, I owe you one!

Dec 3, 2009 Poured from bottle. Dark color with ruby overtones. Strong honey scent immediately evident. Taste is a bit floral and sweet, with slight hop bitterness underneath. Sweet malty/honey aftertaste, which I liked quite a bit. Will definitely buy again.

Dec 1, 2009 Pretty darn good for a Sam Adams- this once again has a glorious powerful aroma with a very weak body. Smell is of sticky caramel and roasted malt, like Ironbeer, the Cuban soda. Body is thin and flavor is weak, too. Watery and more like black lager. Bottle from Total Wine and More, Naples florida.

Nov 24, 2009 Bottle, bought @ SuperBrugsen, Bramdrupdam.
Pours chestnut brown with a fine, big, creamy, beige head. Aroma is mild, roasted, some sweetness, light vegetable and heather honey. Highish carbonation, fine creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has clear honey, roasted malts, dark chocolate. Good grainy, cocoa-like dryness in the finish. Perhaps the honey notes are just a bit too much for me?

Oct 17, 2009 355ml bottle from CinnamonGirl, thanks. Dense, tan-beige head covering a deep, rosewood body. Lacework on the glassware. Smell of roasted dark malts. Dark honey in flavour with roasted malts beneath. Spicy acidity to a short-lived ending. Soft in the mouth and a bit watered. Halfway pleased (shared with Eva at home, Tromsø 16.10.2009).

Oct 13, 2009 0.355 l bottle from Systembolaget. Dark ruby color with creamy head. Sweet honey and Goldings hop aroma with caramel and chocolate in the background. Sweet honeyish, floral and slightly fruity flavor with Goldings hops and some chocolate. I wish this was more toasty and roasty, more porter like. It would bring balance and complexity.
