| 3.7 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 6/10 | 5/5 | 14/20 | Jan 7, 2009 12 oz bottle at Stockholm Beer Festival 2008. Reddish brown color. Honey, lemon, black currant, petrol and bread in the aroma. In the flavor the focus in on lemony, petroly and grapefruity hops with hint of toasted malt and chocolate in the background. Soft and drinkable. Good hop aroma and flavor but I’m longing for more that toasty-chocolatey maltiness. maltdog (515), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA
| 4.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 9/10 | 5/5 | 17/20 | Jan 5, 2009 Bottle. Scarlet in the glass, boasting an enduring mocha froth. The nose combines toasty nutty malt with juicy citric American hops and possibly softly spicy noble hops. Beginning with the roasty-caramelly kiss of a masterful brown ale, the flavor immediately transitions to the heady earthy-spiciness of German origin hops. Finishes with a flash of citric fruity tartness, then "green" and "sharp" hop flavor. Creamy, silken mouthfeel... smooth, lingering espresso aftertaste. Outstanding in all respects and overblown in none. I could gladly enjoy this treat every day. smith4498 (894), Miami, Florida, USA
