Pours amber with a large lasting head.Lots of juicy fruity hops on the nose, mostly lighter fruits like apples, grapes, pears and grapefruit. Underneath is loads of sweet malt with honey and toasty characters.Malt dominates the flavours as well with toasty overtones. The hops here are straight resin and a little grapefruit. Unfortunately there’s a slight metallic character in the short finish.Carbonation is way too high, only exacerbating the very dry finish. Watery body.

Bottle from Wine and Cheese in Clayton, MO. Pours very dark amber with a creamy light coffee head. Aroma of sweetish malt with perhaps a touch of peat. Near full bodied. Flavors are anise, toffee, chocolate and a lot of roast malt. Don’t think there’s smoke though. Finishes on the sweet side, but not sticky. Fairly complicated stuff.

bottle from ølbutikken clear dark amber, smooth yellow head. dark caramelly, nutty, slightly roasted aroma, quite delicate and rather complex. no hint of the high ABV in the aroma. dry flowery hoppy note to balance, but not so much you actually notice it unless you look for it. flavor is sweet sugary, sweet malty, rather dry, nutty, dark bitter malty, caramelly. It’s like several different malty tastes are in play. Imagne a well behaved cross between a brown ale and a barley wine us style, but with much more moderate hopping. Quite tasty.

Bottle. Black with a thick coat of tan head. Aroma of chocolate, vanilla, a little grass. Luscious mouthfeel associated with oats is there. Sweet with lots of chocolate, a little roasted bitterness and coffee. Slightly drying finish has hops, roast and a little coffee. OK chocolate but not a lot else. Heavy and rather dull.

From a 500ml bottle on 23/1/2011. Pours a slighly cloudy pale apricot/straw. The aroma light, fruity and a little floral. in the mouth, you get passionfruit and pineapple notes, with a slightly tart, and reasonably pronounced hop kick. A nice tasty, refreshing, well made blonde ale.
