Dedollewaitor (3622), Odense, Denmark Jun 22, 2008 50cl bottle. Pours dark brown with a creamy head. Lots of malts, roast, caramel, bread. Full bodied. Soft mouthfeel. Hints of dark fruits & chocolate. Chewy & delicious maltyness. Pleasant sweetness. Great! dwyerpg (2519), Las Vegas, Nevada, USA Jun 13, 2008 A very malty grassy aroma - too much for me. Flavor is pretty sweet up front with a bit of chocolate. Finish is a balance between a light hop and some malts. Interesting, but not amazing. papajohn (1054), San Diego (Mira Mesa), California, USA Jun 8, 2008 Bottle from Tip Top Meats Carlsbad: Deep dark burgandy color with a small fadiing light beige head. Aroma of nuts and cola. Flavor has caramel, dark fruit, nuts, smoke, some dark chocolate and black coffee. Medium body is creamy with moderate carbonation. A little sweet for my taste. esjaygee (1467), Oak Creek, Wisconsin, USA Jun 8, 2008 Dark brown with a medium off-white head, quickly dissipating. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar and bread. Taste of caramel, fruit and mild sweet malts. Alcoholic taste from the word go that proceeds throughout and leaves a mild burn on the back end. Dry, astringent and watery, not a big fan of this one. armando629 (953), Budapest, Hungary May 28, 2008 Wow! Looks good! Seemly dark brown body, stable, foamy beige head. Complex aroma of toffe, some chocolate and roasted grains. Rich flavour contains coffee, nuts, some spicey fruit taste, roasted malt. Smooth mouthfeel, well hidden sweety alcohol warms me up.
