[Cask at Charlie's Bar, Copenhagen] A dark nut brown beer with a fine beige head, though collapsing. The aroma is light of fruit, caramel, and nuts. The flavor is flowery (roses), fruity, and rather sweet, but with a nice grassy hoppyness, and a bitterness that balances the sweetness, and lingers on the tongue. A great flavor.

Brown-amber color. Very nice aroma, flowery, elderflower... Bitter, fresh, flowery, wonderful (delicate elderflower again). Long, persistent final.
A giant flowery bitter.
