Deep brown coloured body with a strong copper coloured tint and a thinnish tan head. Aroma of strong roasted malt, nuts, a bit of toffee and almost no hops. Medium to Full-bodied; Strong malty taste with toffee, nuts and a bit of coffee and little else. Aftertaste shows some of the toffeeied sweetness and a bit of the nuts. Overall, a strong nut brown with no spices or anything to speak of. I sampled this 65 cL bottle purchased at Oliver’s Beverage in Albany, New York on 26-December-2005.

22 ounce bottle from mcbackus. Thanks! Pours a hazy orange tinted brown with a thin head, low retention and low lacing. Big caramel malts in the aroma with a slight nuttiness. Nutty and earthy taste with subtle hops and some caramel notes. Medium bodied. Alcohol well hidden. Quite pleasant.

Courtesy of Sebastion (Sea Bass or sebletitje) pours sort of dirty brown with thin tan head. The aroma has sizable dark fruity esters of prunes, figs and dates followed by some earthiness and maltiness and that is followed by what smells like yummy goodness. The taste comes across as rather watery over attenuated first off and then brings in dark fruity esters, brown sugar and earthiness to go along with hints of metal in the finish.

Pours amber, off white head. Aroma is malty, dark fruits. Taste is sugary, malty, candi sugar. Beer fell a little flat in the overall taste, too thin. Gets into the holiday style, but nowhere near as good as many others.

Nice off-white with a dark, cloudy cpper body. Rich sugary malt aroma. Palae is kind of watery.... upsetting for a beer with that much alcohol. Minimal chocolate taste. Little metallic taste in there too. Light hops. Taste s ok, but the lightness of the palate annoyed me...

Poured into a La Fin Du Monde glass from a 22oz bomber. Poured dark brown, translucent but cannot see through the beer. Very strong smell of pines, I like it. Medium body. Taste is herby, piney, I like it. Goes down easy leaves that forest feeling on the palate.

Pours a deep garnet into a pint. Persistent 1/4 inch-, medium-sized bubbles. Very light aroma -- if carbonation has a smell, this is it. Some fruit notes. Initial big malt flavors quickly turn bitter and then metalic -- very bizarre turn of events. Palate goes fizzy to flat very fast.
