Draft. A hazy brown beer with a thick orangey head. The aroma has notes of malt, fruit - citrusy, and lots of spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt as well as lighter notes of roasted malt, straw, caramel, citrus, and spices, leading to a dry and lightly roasted and spicy finish.

Tap @ Flakhaven as Apollo Ale. Pours dark brown with a red hew and a creamy off white head. Quite ashy and dusty nose. Taste is sweet of caramel, rye-bread and dust. Medium to light thin palate. Quite simple and OK.

Dark mahogany color; creamy head. Some chocolate aroma and flavor; the mouthfeel is medium-dry and the bitterness is correct. Not bad, but very ordinary.

(Draught at Apollo, Copenhagen, 13 Feb 2009) Dark brown colour with frothy, pale brown head. Malty nose with notes of wort, brewing-house, dark fruit and dark rye bread. Malty taste with rye bread, dark fruit, wort and a mild bitterness in the finish. Medium body, balanced sweetness. Quite nice actually.

On tap. Opaque dark brown with a creamy, beige head. Distinct butter aroma and sweet dark maltiness. Medium body with lightly burned malt accents, licorice, vanilla and unfortunately still butter. Some malt bitterness in the finish. Without the butter this would’ve been excellent. 190109
