Det Lille Bryggeri Dark Ale

Brewed by Det Lille Bryggeri (Roskilde Øl)
Style: Belgian Ale
Viby Sjælland, Denmark

An opaque hazy brown beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet spicy with hints of cloves and berries. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of berries - black currant, but also with a hints of acidity. The end is dry with the sweet berries lingering. The mouthfeel is sticky. In my opinion it lacks hops.

(On tap) Unclear brown colour with an underlying orangey glow. Small, off-white head. Roasted, lightly burned aroma. Lots of roasted malt, but very dry with a light bitter finish. Not really an impressive effort. 291005
