Dark, dark amber with a huge, beige head.
Light nutty hoppiness with toffee in the aroma.
Rather sweet flavour with burnt sugar and caramelle. ekstedt (2411), Göteborg, Sweden Jul 8, 2007 Bottle. Deep clear copper, brief and fizzy neige head. Wonderful roasted toffeish malt aroma, with notes of dried fruits, and some earthy and woody notes. Medium bodied and soft carbonation. Well balanced with a sweet start and a long dry finish. xenthem0nk (101), Oregon, USA Jul 7, 2007 Poured from a bottle. Lots of malt, cherries, nuts, banana bread in the nose. Didn’t expect so much fruit. Taste is a bit less eventful. Lots of bready bisquits, malts, maple. Syrupy mouthfeel, bit of a alchohol sting. I’ll stick with Celebrator. krysztofar (344), belleville, Illinois, USA Jun 17, 2007 500ml. pours deep black cola with a soft khaki head. aroma is sweet and rich with dried dark fruit notes. rich and robust dark malt flavors with subtle chocolate and coffee balanced with nice astringent hops. straight forward and not overly complex, but damn good! luckygirl (1221), Boulder, Colorado, USA Jun 9, 2007 Bottled. 17.02.09. Beer is clear, very dark warm brown with a large, off-white, frothy, diminishing head.<P>
Initial aroma impression is richly malty with moderate notes of toasted bread crust, caramel; Hoppy with a light-to-moderate note of lemon zest; Light notes of dried current, spicy alcohol.<P>
The flavor is lightly sweet, moderately bitter, trace-to-lightly acidic with a long, light-to-moderately bitter, lightly sweet, lightly acidic finish.<P>
The body is medium, the texture is watery and the carbonation is lively.<P>
Minimal and solid. ChrisTurner (202), Melbourne, Australia Jun 8, 2007 Updated: Jun 15, 2007Bottle -- A dark, dark red with a serious beige head with excellent retention and ample lacing. Looks magnificent in the glass. Big, big aroma of sweet malt, spices and baked fruit. Medium, smooth palate. Flavour is an explosion of earthy sweetness, with stewed spicey fruit, earthiness, caramel, smoke and enough alcohol to keep it all together. Some dryness in the aftertaste but that spicy fruit just keeps going. A real experience and definitely a cold-climate beer, but not bad on a chilly Melbourne night. Tranquillity (1165), Espoo, Finland May 25, 2007 Bottle. Damn this is good! Mahogany brown, almost black. Thick beige head. Some sweetish toffee aroma and metal. By far the thickest dubblebock I’ve tasted. Like oil, honey, or any other goo-y substance. Taste of bitter chocolate, with a long, sweet finish. More of this, please!
