Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

bottle. 2003. Thanks a lot for sharing this Kevin! pours an orange-copper body with big yeast specks floating around and a medium white head. the aroma is top-notch - notes of berry fruit and yeast sweetness. this is very very sweet but somehow manages to not become cloying. lots of warm, comforting alcohol. a lot of fruit flavour and sweet caramel
17 Dec 05 (2004 vintage - Purchased from Kulminator and lovely bought back to Oz in our hand luggage) - Herbal, apple, caramel spiritous aromas. Cloudy medium brown colour with no head or lacing. Sweet and big spirit hop malt flavour. Tangy bitternes with a fruit finish and it is suprisingly well balanced.
A brown-orange beer with a white head. The aroma is sweet and fruity. It has a taste that is yeasty, sweet, fruity and alcoholic. Not a bad taste but a very bad aftertaste, maybe a bad bottle? (Bottle 33cl)
