Bottle. Sweet caramel malt aroma. Red-amber color with giant beige head. Slightly sweet caramel malt flavor with a hint of cherry. In the 80s, this was one of the best US beers out there. Still a decent beer.

[i] Bottle from the Dodgi’ Deli’, Cowley Road, Oxford 18-10-07 [/i] Poured amber with medium carbonation and no head. Aroma was Whisky/Bourbon and oak. Tasted Whiskyish or was that the oakyness again? Not my thing, too sweet, no biterness, some sweet malts, not good at all.

This bottle was brewed in the EU. Pours dark brown with absolutely no head, although the beer itself was rather fizzy. Dried fruit in the aroma and a similar taste, quite nice malt flavours. Practically no aftertaste. The bottle I had was a few months out of date, so perhaps it wasn’t the best example to judge the beer on.

bottle - Pours amber with a thin head. It has a malty aroma iwth maybe a little dark fruit tone. The flavor was also malty and put me in mind of raisins to go with the caramel malts and mild hops. The medium body was a little watery and the finish mildly dry. I expected a little better ratings here.

Röstmalziger Geruch. Röstmalziger, aber nicht sehr intensiver Antrunk. Süßlich und hopfig wird das Bier im Mittelteil, eine Alkoholnote scheint kurzzeitig als Unterton zu erscheinen. Der Nachgeschmack ist eher lasch von einem leicht malzig-herben Ton regiert. Sticht weder positiv noch negativ wirklich hervor. Test vom 17.12.2006, Gebinde: Glasflasche Noten: 7,10,10,7,12,9 - 8,95
