Deep ruddy brown. Fruity sweet malty aroma. Really full in the mouth, both roasted malts and hops. Good healthy finish too. Stunning mild.
Ungstrup (11031), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 2, 2007 Cask at Wenlock Arms, London. A deep red beer with a creamy beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with light roasted notes. The flavor is sweet malty with medium notes of roasted malt combined with lighter notes of chocolate, leading to a dry roasted finish. The body is thin. OK, but not my favorite style. cgarvieuk (2302), Edinburgh, Scotland Oct 22, 2007 Bottle at home ... red brown ... sweet malt nose ... sweeet very raspberry soft roast malts bitter in linger. Rastacouere (5258), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Oct 1, 2007 Considering the style, Scores ranging from 1 to 5, 5 being the most intense

Comments: A bit sticky really, malty mild lacking in fruitiness and roastiness. Focusing on sweet toastiness instead.

Sweet and mild, this is not my favourite type, I prefer more dry hoppiness.
