Amber color. The aroma is malty and with some honey. The flavor is quite ordinary, some sweetness, some bread. Ordinary Ale.

Amber color. The aroma is a bit malty, some white pepper. Smooth, malty, well balanced, spicy; caramel. Quite long final. Interesting.

Amber color with brownish hue. Simple malty aroma. Dry and weak taste, some dry caramel. Too poor!

Dark amber color. Well malty Ale, some sweetness, a lot of caramel, some malty fruitness. Solid brew, satisfactory.

[Cask at GBBF 2005] A hazy orange beer with a slight orange head. The aroma is a combination of hops and oranges on a malty background, while the flavor is malty and fruity with oranges standing out, and with a dry hoppy end, but a thin body.

Bottle. Slightly metallic liquorice aroma. Almost black colour, red hue. Small light brown head. Mouthfeel is slightly thin, carbonation above medium. Flavour is mild, lightly roasted. OK, but a little too mild for my liking. 6 3 6 3 12

(Bottle 50 cl) Beautiful dark amber with a small, fine almost Guinness-like head. Very high pressure in this bottle making the beer flood. Presumably unfiltered. Very marked hop bitterness atop a malty base. Perhaps a bit too bitter for me. 251003

Bottled. Dark copperish brown colour with mediumsized foamy beige head. Aroma is plum, alcohol, hops, raisins and caramel. Flavour is sweetish bitter, plum meets hops and some weak hints of alcohol. Also some roast in aftertaste.

Bottled. Golden colour with big foamy white head, lacing. Hoppy nose with metallic and hayish hints. Soft hoppy flavour, which grows a bit in finish. Quite boring and feels a bit empty with only hoppyness.
