Tap @ Apollo, Cph.
Pours clear dark red with a nice, staying, frothy, beige head. Roasted aroma, light hazel and chestnut, dark chocolate, very soft butterscotch. Medium, rather prickly carbonation. Fine mouthfeel, rather light, though. Flavour has sweet malts, lots of dark chocolate that ventures into light coffee and softly roasted malts. Long, lingering dryness in the finish with good roasted notes. Nice, but its spritzyness detracts.

Draught at the brewpub. Clear red brown coloured with a medium sized beige head. Fruity aroma of caramel with notes of dark chocolate and berries. Fruity flavour of caramel and cocoa powder with notes of chocolate and hops. Roasted and hoppy finish.

From tap at the brewpub. Pours hazy dark brown with a deep amber glare and a small tan head. Aroma is roasted malty, light chocollate malty note. Light liqourice hoppy and subdued fruity note to a nice dark breadish and roasted base flavour. Light hoppy and fruity finish with a lasting roasted malt flavour.

Draft. A deep red beer with a brownn head. The aroma has notes of malt and nuts as well as hints of butter. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, nuts, and caramel, leading to a dry roasted finish.
