[At Jyske Øldage 2004, Kolding] A dark amber beer with an OK but collapsing off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of caramel, while the flavor is sweet malty leading to a nice bitter finish.

(On tap) Beautiful, clear mahogany with a small, off-white head. Weak aroma of roasted malt. Rather high carbonation. Weak - very weak - notes of roasted malt. Dry finish. For a brewery that produces the world’s best Pilsener this truly was a disappointment. 190506

50 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a little dense light bornw head. Lovely aroma of roasted malt and light hoppy fruity note. Flavour is smooth, almost chocolate like, malty and with a nice fruity note from the hops. Leads into a nice mild bitterness and roasted note in the finish.

Tapped. Dark red colour, large beige foamy head. Malty, a bit bitterish aroma with weak hints of plum (?). Roasted flavour with hints of malt and barley. The roast grows in the finish. Not that much aftertaste.

Bottled (as Budweiser Budvar Premium Dark Lager). Clear dark brown, small head. Lightly smokey nose. Light bodied with clean mouthfeel. Fairly dry, somewhat woody and roasty, notes of tobacco. Low-medium bitterness. Quite pleasant.

Bottle. Clear orange brown coloured with a huge beige head. Sweet aroma of caramel, malts and hay with notes of dried fruits and butter. Sweet and light roasted flavour of caramel and hay with notes of dried fruits and cardboard. Roasted and hoppy finish.

Draught at KØ10. Mild malty aroma. Very dark brown colour. Very small tan head. The flavour is mild and spicy. A hoppy dunkel.
