Ungstrup (23922) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 15, 2011
Bottled. A nut brown beer with an orangey head. The aroma has notes of phenol, burnt malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of burnt malt, caramel, alcohol, citrusy hops, and phenols, leading to a dry burnt phenolic finish. I find it flawed.

omhper (15956) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAY 29, 2011
Draught at Ølfestival København 2011. Hazy nut brown, small head. Smoky fruity nose. Sweet with clean, rounded mouthfeel. The hard barren malt prevents further exploration of the flavours. Some caramel, lot of smoke, mildly peppery alcohol burn in the finish. Rather messy.
