| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 4/5 | 13/20 | Aug 27, 2007 On tap at Belgo Camden, 12th August 2007. Looks great in the glass - dark reddish amber with a small foamy head which leaves good lacing. Nice aroma of spices, orange peel, burnt sugar and biscuity malt. The malt dominates the flavour I feel, which is a pity. The palate is smooth and full. Like the blonde, good stuff, but not a world beater. Rune (2845), Tromsø, Norway
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 14/20 | Aug 24, 2007 330ml bottle. Pours an attractive deep red-brown body settled under a creamy, off-white head. Gives a fragrance of late berries and riped fruit. The taste has got a sweet malty character with the support of caramel and biscuit added by a spicy touch (pepper) and notes of plums. It is all offset by soft yeasty tartness at a rather dry ending (06.08.2007). malrubius (1002), Valley Stream, New York, USA

Pours hazy dark reddish brown with lasting brownish amber head and some lace. Faint aroma of malt and yeast earth with slight alcohol. Flavors of caramel, and fruity, raisiny tobacco, with clean finish. Medium body, medium carbonation. Refreshing and tasty, if not very distinctive. emotv (331), Izmir, Turkey
