Bottled. A hazy dark amber beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of malt, caramel, and some coffee. The flavor is sweet with notes of coffee, caramel, spices, and malt, leading to a dry finish. Thanks Theis for sharing.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Pours a cloudy deep amber with an off-white head. The nose is completely dominated by dusty, herbal coffee acents. There may be a hint of sweet roasted malts underneath. Medium body, hard roast malt and dry and distinct coffee notes. Coffee astringency in the finish. The coffee is really dominant. 290111

Bottle from Havnens, Vejle
Dark amber to brown color with red hue, hazy; generous head; evident sediment, is it a bottle conditioned Doppelbock???
I’m not convinced by the aroma of coffee pot (office stryle), but there is a nice peppery note.
The body is medium structured, and the mouthfeel tends to be dry, also because of the high carbonation; if it’s a true Doppelbock, the fragile malt and caramel flavor is partially covered by the quite strong coffee; some liquorice appears, uninvited; the bitterness level is medium strong, including the charred bitterness from the coffee.
Interesting for the experience, but not fully convincing after all.

Bottle. Nice head with good duration. Color is dark amber. Aroma and taste are rich coffee, vegetables, caramel, malt and hops.
