Bottled - Beer Circus - Croydon. A dark brown coloured beer with a decent off-white coloured head. The aroma is malty and bready with good raisin fruit. The taste is more of the same with added candy sugar notes. Very tasty and drinkable with th fruitiness taking a pleasant hold.

Sugary aroma with pepper and nutmeg. Yeasty, somewhat alcoholic flavor, slightly herbal. Sweetish, not really interesting beer.

Bottled [BB 12/2007]. Dark brown color, big creamy tan head. Cardboard and dried fruits in the nose - mainly prunes, plums. Dried fruits, chocolate and oak plus some alcohol in the flavor. This beer is more in the dry and alcoholic side than sweet and sugary. Carbonated mouthfeel and alcoholic aftertaste. Similar to some Belgian "bulk brunes".

Bottle at Københavnske Øldage 2006. Unclear brown colour with a nice head. Nice aroma of yeast and little roastedness too. Nice smooth flavour of roastedness, spices, yeast and noteable alcohol.

(Bottle 33 cl) A hazy, brownish beer with an off-white head. A very fruity and somewhat sweetish nose. A bit heavy on the CO2. Medium body, some roasted malt, almost vinous with spicy accents. Subdued bitterness. Quite a refined brew. 200506
