UPDATED: FEB 11, 2010 Bottle from Lagersalget, Grønjordskollegiet:
Clear brown beer with a little cream coloured head. Fair duration.
Aroma is caramel, sweet malts. Flavor is somewhat more complex with notes of chocolate, sweet malts, alcohol and bitter hops. The beer still seems boring, though. Palate is watery, no traces of thickness or creamyness. The bad texture and fizzy carbonation ruins this beer.

Smells like dark fruit, raisins, and brown sugar. The taste has dark fruits and chocolate, with just enough sweetness. Nice carbonation makes it refreshing, despite the strong flavor. Not too much alcohol. Very good beer! I might not give it back to Ughsmash...

12oz bottle. Poured mostly clear burnt orange with lively rising carbonation and a creamy cap of beige head. The aroma picked up toasty raisins, dates, and honey with accents of vanilla bean and smoke.. peppery spices on the back.. excellent presentation. The flavor found a whole lot more of raisins with lesser dates, and again some sweet honey to tie it together.. white and black pepper plus a touch of cloves around.. enjoyed the dry earthy yeast laced throughout. Medium-bodied and warm on the palate with dense carbonation.. spicy and engaging.. YUM!
