This beer came to me in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a black color with a medium sized dark brown head. The aroma was dry roasty and toasty malts. The flavor was dryish roasty malts with an element reminiscent of malted milk balls. The beer turned slightly sweet towards the finish. The body was fairly thick and smooth. Nice.

This beer came to me in my beer club. Sampled from a 12 oz brown bottle this beer poured a bronze-chestnut color with a small khaki head. The aroma was moderately fruity and floral hops with an underlying bitterness. The flavor was sweet nutty caramel and a mix of fruity and floral hops. There was a longish fruity and nutty finish. A good session ale in my book.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Pours completely black and opaque with a handsome, tall, dense light brown head leaving some lacework. Tart but also burned aroma. Rather thin in body with very burned, ashy malt notes. The finish is dry. Not bad. 080707

Bottle. I’m not sure what to make of his beer. It didn’t have that strong of an aroma, and the flavor was a little weak to me. Perhaps I drank it too chilled, but I’ve had other beers that were "brewed with coffee" and this one just pales entirely compared to them.

A strange, but not unpleasant aroma. Something of yeast, fruit and honey. Pale brassy color with a frothy white head that laced a very little. Something of a berry aroma as the glass approaches the lips. Near medium mouthfeel. There is indeed a cideriness here. Maybe with a bit of citrus. It does tend towards sour rather than sweet. Leaves something of a herb/veg mouth coat. Finishes with no bitter and a little citrus sour in the back of the mouth. Probably an acquired taste, but really not a bad thing.

Bottle. Orange, honey and white pepper aroma. Bright yellow with a nice big head. Lemon-orange malt with moderate carbonation. Light fruity beer - wish it had more sorghum flavor personally, however sorghum isn’t exactly a flavor most people like.

Bottle. Surprisingly, cherries are hard to pick up in the nose. Maybe a touch of a tart character, but that’s all I’m picking up. Body is kind of a reddish gold; head was pretty big for a short while... a lovely pinkish color. Not great after that... flavor is bitter, tart and vinegary all at once. Apart from the disappointment left behind by the cherry experiment gone wrong, there is little left to be had. The underlying malt structure is weak at best, the hops is no there other than a bit of a grassy note.
***Re-rated 10/22/2007*** Not picking up the vinegar and other foul notes. Still tart and cherry dominated, but much better than the last bottle. Wouldn’t mortgage the house to keep this in stock, but serviceable.
