Dark color that is reflected in the nose and on the palate. The aromas of dried lemon and lemon sourdough predominate, but there is also a snippet of lemon verbena and jackfruit, dried apricots, pumpkin, dried mango, dried papaya and a Flemish red beer streak! The lemon and beer notes are evocative of a brew room after cleanup, but a honey note in a spring grove plants you firmly outside. Plenty of sunshine here, and tangerines in a basket with fresh bread. Medium to heavy mouthfeel, and blood orange, grapefruit, lemon drops, grapefruit pith, limestone and a dried grass and chalky lemon pith finish that is exemplary. A writhing, evolving spectacle that boasts the intermittent Apple cider vinegar whisper without offense. Tannins abound, along with lemoncello custard. — 11 years ago

I need a beer app! this is 1990 Thomas Hardy's Ale (6.33 fl oz), from Dorchester Dorset England...with the beautiful nose of an aged port, but it's a beer!!!! still a tiny fizz carbonation, heavy on the walnut, darker caramely favors!! — 11 years ago

Really really cool beer. Smoked imperial stout. Very smokey but not overwhelmingly heavy. Also not as bitter as I expected. This also marks the first time I've had a beer (or beverage in general) from Iceland. — 11 years ago

Big rich mouth feel, mocha, chocolate without being heavy. Balancing hops and acidity. Oats, brown sugar. Or in a word? Delicious. Careful it's 10%abv. Another great beer from Jacks Abby — 11 years ago

Smooth German beer. No strong bite nor heavy hops taste. Great, refreshing beer for any or no occasion. Tastes light, crisp and I always love the fact that German beers are pure. Nothing added for flavor enhancement. — 11 years ago
