Medium offwhite head. Orangey body. Malty straw aroma with alcoholic toffee and faint citric notes. Sweet-dry caramelly toffee taste with alcoholic citrus notes. Very rounded, harmonic, and balanced. Fizzy mouthfeel. Dry orangey papery hop aftertaste. Very nice. (0.5l bottle shared by KnutAlbert.)

Nov 19, 2008 Bottle@KnutAlbert’s. Low beige head. Crystal clear, light copper colored. Inviting grain aroma. A whiff of caramel and ripe citrus. Predominant taste of sweet grain. Some caramel, fruits and alcohol, and a fine and well prononced bittterness. Balanced and big-bodied. Very likeable.

Oct 24, 2008 Bottle. Vintage 2005. Colour redbrown with small off white head. Aroma nice starts with a little hopp notes and then prunes, plums and a lot of sweetness. Taste sweet and sugary. The alcohol is well hidden. A soft and nice beer, but I think it would have been better a year ago, tends to get a little onedimensional in the glass.

Caramel, grain. Plenty of sweetness, but still lots of hops giving aroma and laysers of bitterness.
