2.8 bedankt aan tim om te delen na de escape room een rood amber kleurig lichaam met een witte kop en met een donker fruit karamel mout aroma een geroosterde mout karamel donker fruit mout smaak met een licht bitter einde

3.2 Three fingers of head dark cherry color. Fruity flavors dominated by red fruits with a very smooth finish. Well done!

3.2 500 ml bottle from the LCBO. Pours a clearish caramel colour with smallish off-white head. Aroma is toffee, earthiness and toasty grains. Flavour has gently sweet toffee, bread crusts and a mellow earthiness. Body on the lighter side of medium. Solid.

3.0 Sweet, malty with lots of caramel and toffee flavours along with red apple skin. Slightly dry finish. Quite unusual but nice enough. Not sure I would drink pints of the stuff though.

3.3 Bottle. Pours a dark brown colour with a red tint, light hop aroma with hints of caramel, the taste is medium bitterness with plenty of malt coming through, with a dry bitter finish.

1.4 Horrific.

2.9 330 ml bottle. Pours dark red with tall, long-lasting, fluffy white head and nice lacing. Aroma is of herbal hops, caramel and bready malt. Body is medium and crisp. Taste is of earthy hops, ripe fruit and bready malt. Finish is long and bitter. OK brew.

3.4 Bottle @ Little Dublin, Utrecht. Clear ruby with a off-white head. Wonderfull malty caramel aroma with earthy hops. Sweet taste with a low-bitter finish.

3.3 Bottle. Clear dark amber-red color with eggshell head. Aroma is caramel, some fresh red fruits. Taste is the same, sweetish but nice character. Oily mouthfeel with natural carbonation. Solid!

4.4 I like

2.6 Roodbruin bier met weinig schuim. Smaak is bitterzoet met een beetje rook. Verder een standaard bier.

3.3 Klare dunkelrote Farbe mit weißer Schaumkrone. Malziger, fruchtiger Geruch. Geschmacklich malzig, fruchtig, nussig. Mittlere Süße mit leichter Bitterkeit, mittlerer Körper mit spürbarer Kohlensäure.

3.7 0.44l can. Cloduy deep copper/ruby colour with forever lasting, super creamy white head. Aroma: Weak caramel, coffee grounds with a hint of dirty sponge. Taste: Full malty start, with a quite grainy tone (bread) and ash also with a pleasent espresso-like bitter mouthfeel. Has a very creamy texture. Light/medium body with no carbonation at all. Medium lasting bitter/dry finish.

2.1 Found out of can from a store in Bielsko-Biala, Poland. Intriguing heavy foam pour giving way to a burgundy appearance with two fingers worth of creamy foam. Unfortunately, the taste is quite disappointing and below average for the style.

2.2 appearnce of slightly off hazy red. aroma is of co2, caramely malt, metallic. taste is watery, bright hops, kinda odd. body is overcarbonated and thin. i simply don't like the hops and thats all there is. absolutely does not work. would not buy again at all.

3.6 Bevuta in bottiglia. Bella birra rosso scura. Non male anche se manca un po' di corpo.

3.6 Tap @Docker in Belgrade-Serbia. Dark copper with hidden amber highlights and a tick ivory foam. Nose: leather, horse, malty. Mouth: strong amber malt backbone with a straight forward happy bitterness. Nice indeed.

3.2 Bottle. Nice roast malt aroma, with red fruit, cherries, [plums, and a gentle coffee note. Deep mahogany color, with a light tan sponge-like finger of foam. Flavor similar to aroma, with the red fruitiness. A scratchy load of mid palate hops. Seems like a toned down Cascadian. Pleasant enough, but more or less static, with few palate changes.

3.2 Dark reddish when poured, white brownish bubble head. Aroma - Sweet, malty, fruity, nutty. Taste - Hoppy, sweet malt, nuts.

3.0 Roasted cereals, hazelnuts and grain bark make up the dominant elements of the olfactory. A beige foam, thick, quite creamy and persistent, on a reddish-brown liquid with coppery reflections and strongly effervescent. The grain bark hits the palate first and perpetuates itself until the final, bringing an astringent and tenacious bitterness. Tones of walnuts, an exceptionally light caramel barely perceptible, leafy hops that are incorporated into an astringency and tenacious bitterness. The body is moderately light with a fairly mild effervescence. This beer may be an example of style, but its harsh side and its bitterness of grain bark royally displeases me. Céréales grillées, noisettes et écorce de grain composent les éléments dominants de l’olfactif. Une mousse beige, épaisse, assez crémeuse et persistante, sur un liquide brun rougeâtre aux reflets cuivrés et fortement effervescent. L’écorce de grain nous frappe le palais en premier et se perpétue jusqu’en finale, amenant une amertume astringente et tenace. Des tons de noix de Grenoble, un très léger caramel à peine perceptible, des houblons feuillus qui s’incorporent à une amertume âpre et tenace. Le corps est moyennement léger avec une effervescence assez douce. Cette bière a beau être un exemple du style, son coté âpre et son amertume d’écorce de grain me déplait royalement.

3.6 O’Hara’s Irish Red Traditional Ale 4.3% Reddish brown with a wispy tan head and a biscuity peppery aroma. Medium bodied with a slightly raspy carbonation. The taste is well balanced with peppery, mild toffee, hints of coffee beans and a balancing malt sweetness. Quite enjoyable.

3.3 This is a backlog rating from 2008 from a bottle, from notes. When I had this beer it was average to below average for the style and not something I wanted to have again or I just didn't get back to my notes because of my technology at the time, work and/or family. Words to describe this beer are toasted malts, toffee, fruit, herbal, ok.

3.2 330ml bottle as part of Cyberfest 5; Look: Clear dark red with a medium sized off-white/light tan head. Moderate fine carbonation. Aroma: peanut, biscuit malt, chocolate, caramel Body: thin Taste: peanut, caramel, smoky bitterness, herbal astringency Overall: interesting. Not unpleasant.

3.1 Bottiglia. Il naso riconosce indizi di caramello. La finezza olfattiva è elevata e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il manto birroso superiore resiste abbastanza. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. La parte liquida offre una visione offuscata. Il colore è ambrato rossiccio carico tendente marrone. Il corpo è rotondo. L'amaro è discreto. La forza gustativa è normale e si prolunga in modo è sufficiente. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di pronta beva. Il retrogusto è di media intensità. Al palato prevalgono impressioni di caramello, miele, pane tostato, un accenno di resinoso e agrumi.

3.0 Raisin, malts, caramel, nuts, earth. Some herbs. Nice nitro beer, nothing really special.

3.2 Beer52 CyberFest 5. Creamy light brown head stayed on a reddish brown still body. Malt, ashtray & coal aroma. Medium bodied, short on the palate with a clean back. Rye, herbal, vegetal, berry & root beer tastes. Interesting.

3.1 Bottle from Beer 52 Irish selection. Red in colour, with raisin aroma, and sweet malty flavour. Pleasant drink with low carbonation.

3.4 330ml bottle. Clear dark mahogany, small white head. Aroma is malty, earthy, red fruits, nuts. Taste is toasted malts, caramel, nuts, earthy to floral hops. Medium body, carbonation coats palate, dry. Quite nice.

3.1 Nice amber pour, thin but steady off white head. Nose is carmelized grain. Middle carmelized malt, an earthy woodiness, some treacle. Finish is lightly bitter with a fairly light body.

3.2 Clear, mahogany color and an off-white head. Nose of roasted malt, caramel. Taste is nutty, malty-sweet and hints of brown sugar.
