Historical Community Tasting Notes

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

330 ml bottle. Dark reddish brown body with a big, foamy beige head. Aroma of sweet malt with spices and brown sugar. Flavor is sweet and soft malt with some caramel, spices, hops, brown sugar and traces of yeast. Medium body, decent aftertaste, quite commercial style but enjoyable.
Boa cerveja. Espuma cremosa, cor ambar, sempre presente. Colorao vinho escuro - bonita. Cheiro de malte suavemente torrado, caramelo. Uma cerveja forte e frisante - maltes torrados, caramelo, suavemente adocicada e tambm suavemente amarga. Boa.
Pours a ruby colour, with long enduring large creamy head. Whiff of malt to the nose. A bit acidic and bitter taste of burnt toast, coffee and toffee. Metallic finish. (330ml bottle, shared with Stefan at Cafe Snn 08.oct.09)
