3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 hawthorne00 (2955) - Melbourne, AUSTRALIA - APR 23, 2014
Bottle, 10C. Deep amber with an off white head that lasts OK and laces well. Rich toffee, chocolate and vanilla aroma with some surprising prune notes. Sweet and chocolatey with again some odd but not unpleasant slightly sour plummy notes. No distinct bitterness, but dries out a bit at the end.
3.3 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Bif (1743) - St. Louis, Missouri, USA - OCT 1, 2012
Bottle- Pours a nice amber color with a nice head that fades to some lacing. Aroma of roasted malt, toffee with a bit of grain. Taste of roasted malt, some toffee and some caramel sweetness. There is a mild bitterness and a dry finish. Moderate body, mild crispness, quite smooth with a decent balance. Fairly average for the style, still good for a couple.
2.3 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 mkel07 (4417) - Brisbane, AUSTRALIA - SEP 23, 2011
330ml bottle. Hazy light copper colour with a thin line of foam. Some faint toffee and malt aromas and the flavour carries some biscuit malt and caramel. A little thin and flat.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 9/20 Maris (1204) - Canberra, AUSTRALIA - SEP 17, 2011
From a 330ml bottle on 17/9/2011. Pours a cloudy dark golden with almost no head. Has a slight sour, sweaty, yeasty aroma. Theres not a whole lot to report flavour wise, just a bit of sweet fruit and a mild bitterness. The palate is a touch watery. A fairly ordinary effort.
2.5 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 10/20 Stew41 (1811) - Woodend, AUSTRALIA - JUN 14, 2010
Not particularly attractive; hopelessly thin head and murky light tan in colour. Strangely fruity nose with a hint of chocolate. Very lifted but in some ways not dissimilar to the pale ale. Fruit drops away in the mouth to reveal a harder, almost sour edge of bitter chocolate. Kinda weird and not sure I get it. Has a homebrew feel to the structure.
4 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20 davidm (1979) - Sunnyvale, California, USA - MAR 19, 2010
Tap. Delicious beer. Aromas of roasted malt, cola, and nuts. Taste is sweet, with good length. Palate is silky, and medium bodied. Light amber colour, with a thin frothy head.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 kahn (48) - AUSTRALIA - FEB 14, 2010
Tap - Dark amber color with medium head. Strong sweet caramel flavors, this beer is a light, easy drink, but maybe is a bit sweet. A beer that would be good over some nice ice-cream. Could be drank in all seasons.
