Bottled. An amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has strong notes of malt, medium notes of caramel, and light notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of burnt malt and caramel, leading to a dry finish. Thanks fonefan for sharing.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of fonefan. Hazy orangey brown with a small off-white head. Hard roasted malt aroma. Good body with sweetish roasted malt - somewhat vinous. A light fruitiness also while the bitterness is very discreet. 230808

33 cL bottle. Pours hazy dark brown with a small tan head. Roasted malty and slight Lingering roasted and dark malty into the far finish. Nice smooth and dark roasted malty into the far finish.

Bottled@Monks Cafe, Wallingatan, Stockholm. Deep brown/black colour, small beige head. Aroma is licorice, mild alcohol, vanilla and some dark dry fruity notes as well. Flavour is coffee, roasted malts, licorice and a lot of maltyness. Some slight chocolate and vanilla in the aftertaste. Very pleasant.

Bottled at Monk’s Café Wallingatan, Stockholm. Near blac, rich firm head. Dry and crisp, fairly light bodied lactic with roasty licoice and chocolate coming through the spitzy carbonation haze. Light tobacco and salty bitterness in the finish. The very heavy carbonation disguises the qualities of the beer. With champagnoise porters and flat saisons I feel I’m on a bad streak with the carbonation levels in my de Molens.

Botte at Monks Café Sveavägen. Black coloured with a medium sized beige head. Roasted aroma of caramel, chocolate and hay. Roasted flavour of caramel, chocolate and hay with notes of hops. Roasted and hoppy finish.
