Historical Community Tasting Notes

Preserved from the RateBeer community archive (circa 2000–2018)

(500ml bottle dated 12-4-2003 thanks to blutt59) Seems I like this more than everyone else! Clear medium deep brown with a ring of khaki bubbles. Nose of sweet chocolate syrup, cream, mild moss and mustiness as well as old books. Taste of toasted bread, chocolate malt, slightly thin body with a chocolaty finish.
(500ml bottle, courtesy of blutt59) Pours a hazy deep amber body with a small off-white head. Aroma of raisins, dusty/dirt, metal, chocolate, caramel, old books, and a clogged garbage disposal of decaying meat and veggies. Flavor of caramel, chocolate, cherries, and noticeable oxidation.
bottle thanks to blutt59. poured a deep amber/brown with a cream head. nose is big caramel, bready malts, and dried fruits. decent on the palate, flavor is bready malts, caramel, light hops, and a not so carbonated finish.
