A clear light brown colored beer, with a small beige head. The aroma of malts with caramel, some fruit. The taste of fruit, apple with a little caramel and sweet malt. The aftertaste is sweet with a little bitter notes.

Bottle. Amber with a medium sized head. Sweet caramelly aroma with some raisins, light hops, a bit floral and metallic, and of course alcoholic. High carbonation, sweet caramelly taste with raisins, with an unpleasant, alcoholic-astringent finish. Would require more depth to justify such an overt alcohol presence. Not good.

No está mal para ser una cerveza comercial. Aproveché una oferta de pack de 4 en que regalaban una copa como excusa para probarla, y se puede beber. En mi opinión es mejor beberla a trago largo.

Impresionante. De las cervezas fabricadas ’en serie’, la mejor. Cuesta de encontrar.

33cl bottle. Reddish with light beige head, creamy and with good lacing. Optimal lasting too. Aroma is to caramel, candy sugar and slightly toasted malts. Flavour is sweet, bready, moderate alcoholic and fruity, with a final slightly bittery. Carbonation is medium. Body is medium to full.

Aroma of hops, malts, alcohol and light apple. Amber color, beige head that diminishes fast, no lace. Few flavors, light sweet, bit fruity (orange, apple), light bitter start but more bitter in the finish, very thin.

Süßer, dazu nur wenig herber Antrunk, in dem eine gewisse alkoholische Würze erkennbar ist. Diese wird stärker, die Herbe bleibt gleich. Dadurch wir der Alkohol zum Ende zu offensichtlich, was nicht unbedingt stört, angesichts der vorherigen Harmonie aber schon schade ist. Zum Ende trocken und schnell abflachend, dann doch noch herber. Zu trocken, sonst ganz gut.

33 cl bottle from a supermarket in Barcelona. It pours an unclear amber-ruby liquid, with light beige small-medium foam. Its aroma is mostly roasted malts, with caramel hints, a little ripe black fruit, and a hoppy touch; a little boozy also. In the mouth, hops are more notorious; still, there’s roasted malt everywhere, as well as caramel and booze (without flawing the brew). It is medium bodied, with average carbonation and a sweet medium bitter finish. It is an original brew; it feels a little unbalanced, though: it reminds of some strong ales being a lager. The cellar touch adds character to the brew. Smart presentation and crowncap.

OK. heavier body and fullness and roundness by the alcohol. more flavour would do good.. maybe more hops
