Boystout (1000) - Chisinau, - AUG 17, 2004
Canned. Brewed from pale, caramel and chocolate malts; hops are imported from Southern Germany and Bohemia. Deep ruby colour, nice head and lace, but the palate is fairly standard: slightly roasty and caramelly, thin and watery. Not rich at all. A Xmas disappointment.

Bottle. Pours a clear and amber beer with an offwhite head. The aroma is malt, caramel, sweetness and some spices. The flavor is following the nose closely. The palate is sweetness with notes of bitterness. Overall a beer just below average.

Can. [thanks Søren]
Pours dark, clear chestnut with a small, creamy, white head that stays for a little while. Aroma of toasted caramel, light milky chocolate, mild metal and some sweetness. Medium carbonation, okay dry and mild creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is okay, good sweetness, some metal that detracts. A bit of harshness to its finish. Fine notes of caramel and chocolate though. Still by far the best macro Christmas Lager in DK.
