Bottled (CK, BB 12/2009). Almost clear copper brown color, big cloudy beige head. Very strong nose: there is honey, leather, brown sugar, dark malts and fruity notes. Suprisingly quite watery palate. Tastes quite much like Pommac -soft drink: pears, apple and grapefruit but mixed with bready notes and some honey. Personal brew, but not something I would like to have another bottle.

Bottle (333ml): Hazy, chestnut-amber coloured, stable beige head with a little lace; sweet dark malt, a bit toasty, dried fruits and distinctive hops in the nose; moderate to solid bitter-sweet flavour, medium bodied; lingering and warming bitter-sweet finish with notes of toasted malt and an increasing dry aromatic hoppy bite plus cacaopowder in the aftertaste. Very aromatic, very pleasant brew........

330ml Bottle - Amber with a haze and a foamy white head. Slightly malty aroma with a very faint fruity element. Very bitter taste with grain, malt, tea and a slight dryness. The taste is bitter, and the bitterness lingers in the finish, although not as much as you would anticipate after taking the first sip. Not bad. Hoppy and tasty, but not overwhelmingly so and fairly well balanced.

Bottled (CK, BB 12/2010). Different label than in RB. Almost clear amber color, small white head, some lace. Nose is kind of bready-yeasty with citrusy Cascade hops. A bit sweet with caramel malts, yeast, bread, spices with lingering hoppyness and a bit of alcohol in the aftertaste. This is ... ok .. it is brewed to APA-style (sweet one), but somehow it isn’t so balanced.
