Sep 12, 2004 Great beer with an outstanding color and a fine airy head. The color of this beer is dark orange with a brilliant red shine. It has rich aroma’s of butter cakes, malts, rice crispy’s and quality vegetal hops = (green hoppyness). The taste is smooth and has hints of caramel, soft malts,candy sirup and fine dry hops. The afthertaste is dry and ends with a well balanced hoppyness.

Sep 10, 2004 Nice brown-red colour with a moderate fluffy tan head. Sweet malty aroma. Flavour is largely sweet malt with touches of caramel. Finish shows a kiss of alcohol with a dry tangy not quite astringent aftertaste lingers. Nice smooth palate. Thanks obisbeer.

Jul 7, 2004 Bottle pours caramel in color, medium white head, light carbonation, with sporatic lacing. Aroma was of light malts, slight caramel or toffee. Flavor was somewhat sweet, of toffee or caramel. Finish was somewhat light, expecting it to be a bit heavier. Overall it was clean and somewhat crisp, easy to drink, but was hoping for something more robust. Thanks goes out to batkins for the freebie!

Jul 7, 2004 What happens when you cross a great beer style with a less-than-great brewer? I think the "great style" wins out in this really decent effort from Schell. Deep red color, generous densely-packed head. First aromas suggested Belgian Dubbel to me--spiciness, apple, vanilla, bubblegum--and the flavors carry some of the same, with some bready, alcoholic notes. Slightly sticky, moderately sweet, caramel notes. The palate is of average quality for the style--frothy, but not as creamy/syrupy as you’ll find in other examples. Still, this is a nice, well-rounded beer and a very nice beer to sit with.

May 19, 2004 In the bottle. Garnet brown in color. Beige foamy head subsides leaving nice money on top. Only a slight malt aroma. Nice sweet malt flavor upon first taste. I’m really pleased with this. Tastes tangy and sweet at the same time. Great top of the tongue caramel coating. Not too carbonated. Beautiful in appearance.
