Banana and clove aroma with some sweet malt and quite coriandery. Very dark yellow and foggy, with a nice, white ring. Refreshing banana flavour with plenty of sweet malt. Gentle with a coriander note. Clean and with a good sweet and dry balance. Lasting coriander flavour. oh6gdx (6459), Vaasa, Finland Apr 5, 2005 Tapped. Dark coloured, no head. Barlic/malty sweet nose. Fruity fresh flavour with strong smoky finish. Smokish longlasting aftertaste. Rich, but good carbonation. larsga (2447), Oslo, Norway Sep 22, 2008 Small white head quickly disappears. Amber body. Smoky apple and caramel aroma. Dry-sweet fruity smoky apple taste with caramelly charcoal notes. Mild, balanced, harmonic. Dry dusty grainy smoky aftertaste. Body is thin and delicate. Very nice! (0.1l taster draft at EBF ’08.) sayravai (3224), Helsinki, Finland Apr 5, 2004 (Tapped) Very nice red/amber color, small head. A very pleasant, sweetish, smoked-ham aroma. Very strong smoked-malty flavor, although it does lack some complexity and fullness. Medium-bodied, oily (and smoky) palate. A nice surprise!
