Bonster (81), Jersey Shore, New Jersey, USA Aug 17, 2009 Bottle at Crab’s Claw. Had this one a few years ago. I have to admit I only tried this at first because I liked the name. Not a bad beer overall though. Bragesnak (2223), Aarhus, Denmark Nov 26, 2008 Meeting at DØE, Aarhus syd, DK.
Bottled, 191108.
Amber with small head. Aroma of malt and notes of citrus. Flavor is caramel and hop spices. Wombler (27), , Greater London, England Oct 7, 2008 Not seen in the uk any more. deep coloured with caramel and malts. Nice when you could get it in the Spread Eagle. nearbeer (1833), Knoxville, Tennessee, USA Feb 8, 2008 500 ml, bb 17 Aug 07. This bottle says 5.2% abv (not 4.1% as indicated in info above). Hazy, iced-tea look with a large head that settles into a quarter-inch, lasting, sticky ring and leaves some cobwebs on the glass. Butterscotch and caramel, plus some spicy lemongrass and gunmetal in the nose. Citrus, resin, caramel flavors, with a nice bitter grassy-herb finish. Light-medium body is watery, smooth, and a little dry-tingly. One of the best bitters I’ve had, but the 5.2% probably really puts it in the ESB style, where it would still shine. walleye (876), Sterling Heights, Michigan, USA Jan 7, 2008 I cannot believe I haven’t rated this I had this a while ago. poured a nice amber color with a tan head. aroma malts, sweet, some hops , caramel, friuts. flavor malts, plums and other fruits lke it sweet, with a nice bitterness to it RSRIZZO (1332), Colorado Springs, Colorado, USA Dec 2, 2007 Had this beer on 1/22/2003. Color is a deep rich amber with good carbonation and a thin head. Aroma is a light sweet malt scent. Taste is light, malty and mildly toasted. Starting with a light/medium body it goes down smooth and easy with a hint of malt coming on. Finish comes on with a mild toasted malt flavor that flows into a nice full malt taste backed by a mellow bitterness. Overall its just a great brew. HopsOrDie (687), New Lenox, Illinois, USA Nov 12, 2007 Still on the shelf at the local liquor store. Best by date: Aug. 17, 2007. Pours copper with a caramel malt aroma and some earthy hops. Flavor has caramel and nutty malts along with a slight earthy hop flavor or maybe that’s cardboard? A little similar to Anchor’s OSA in the flavor. I liked buying this from time to time so it is said to see it go. scoobysnak (249), Appleton, Wisconsin, USA Oct 18, 2007 Had this quiet a while ago... Apparently when they were still in business. Good caramelly flavors. Nothing spectacular but good none the less.
