Prokroustis (361) - Thessaloniki, GREECE - SEP 7, 2011
Pitch dark brown body with an off white head. Aroma is spicy and malty, with pineapple and mango. Flavour is interesting, sweet with caramel and spices at the start with an acidic finish.

Koelschtrinker (6545) - Köln (Cologne), North Rhine-Westphalia, GERMANY - JUN 3, 2011
Säuerlicher und stark karbonisierter Antrunk. Dann nach Kirschen, gleichzeitig herber und malzig. Die Säuerlichkeit bleibt bestehen und wird ein Grundpfeiler des Bieres. Leider ist der Hintergrund wenig intensiv, so dass das Bier schnell erschöpft. Ein erfrischendes und gleichzeitig malziges Bier ist es trotzdem geworden. 9/8/9/7/7/8

Defreni (1781) - Husum, DENMARK - JAN 29, 2011
Flaske: Sortbrun gennemsigtig øl med et stort luftigt skumhoved. Duften er meget krydret, nærmest julet. Smagen er igen meget krydret, men en livlig karbonering giver et godt modspil så øllen er drikbar. Fin men lidt speciel.

ekstedt (3625) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - OCT 30, 2010
Bottle (33 cl) from Etre Gourmet. Murky brown, medium creamy beige head. Spicy coke (or swedish "julmust" aroma) with notes of juniper and ginger. Sour and bitter. Probably infected, or perhaps just old (no best before date).
