On Tap at the Blind Tiger Ale House, New York, 19-11-08. Pours the colour of old blood watered down a little, though on reflection maybe not quite that red, there is a white head. There is a nice soft raspberry nose and the initial flavour is apple peel, bit furry, nicely sour good dusty dryness, I really like it. The place is jammed pack so struggling now with detailed notes.

By courtesy of Yngwie. Hazy dark amber in body appearance. One-finger, light brownish head. Aroma of dried fruits. Sweet taste of caramel malts and dark fruits, with emphasis on apricot, and a notch of marmalade. Dry ending with a spicy touch. Foamy in the mouth. Pretty good, but not great [bottle shared at a drinking session in Oslo 15.12.2008].

Bottled at Monks Café Sveavägen, Stockholm. Brownish amber, rich firm head. Floral grassy caramel aroma. Medium sweet, hearty and malty with well rounded mouthfeel. Some light syrup and marmelade to go with the piney hop bitterness. A well balanced enjoyable winter beer.

This brew pours a clear dark amber color with a medium fluffy off-white head that diminishes slowly. Small patches and strings of lacing. Aroma of malt and barley plus a little rye. Light body with flavors of bready malt, hops and rye. The finish has a doughy malt flavor and a mild hops aftertaste that does not linger long. Slightly above average overall.

Bottle. Coppery body with a very small head that is all but gone shortly after pour. Aromas are crisp hops... citrus and pine. Flavor is a lovely mix of the pine/citrus hops and a caramel/toffee malt. Let it warm just a bit and the malt will come out a little more... it seemed a bit watery when it was cold.

bottle - Pours clear red with a thin head. The aroma was mainly of caramel malt. It tasted sweet with caramel and a hint of spice. This is a sweet, malty, medium bodied brew that goes down nicely without being anything spectacular.

Bottle. Body is stouty dark and sports a smallish tan head. Not much happening in the nose at first, but it warms a bit and lovely chocolate, oat and coffee aromas spring forth. Flavor is pretty heavy on the oats up front and then at the very tail end of the aftertaste. They kind of stick with you after all of the chocolate and coffee dies down. This is pretty darn good stuff.

Bottle. Pitch black with short lasting brown head. Lots of chocolaty malts, whiskey, some vanilla and alcohol in the aroma. Bourbon barrels are better than Scotch barrels for beer ageing!
