Courtesy of Gillard. Pours deep dark brown with weak light brown head. The aroma is mild smooth and blended with earthiness, river rocks, shrubbery, mild malt roastiness, musty moist dates, prunes and some more roastiness. The taste is just plain old yummy with a load of earthiness, prunes, caramel, mild olives, more earthiness, muted sweet woody oakiness and mild whiskey booze. Very nice brew.

(bottle) Unclear, greenish golden colour with a short foamy white head. Light-sweet, aromatic fruity (citrus) and slightly woody hoppy nose with a moderate malty sweetness in the background. Bitter flavour, light bodied with a soft and mellow mouthfeel. Soft malty base with aromatic hops from the beginning; very dry and quite bitter hoppy finish, almost lingering with woody and light fruity notes. Very aromatic and pleasant brew (19.03.08).

(bottle) Hazy, golden colour with a short foamy white head. Light-sweet, lemon-fruity and zesty hoppy aroma with notes of apricots and traces of vanilla. Moderately bitter flavour, light bodied but never watery, smooth and pleasant carbonation. Light malty base with aromatic lemon-fruity and slightly spicy hops dominating; dry and moderately bitter, hops-accented finish with a good length. Aromatic and pleasant brew (05.03.08).
