Bottled. A hazy dark amber beer with a lazing orange head. The aroma is sweet mlaty with notes of alcohol, hops, and a light touch of grass. While the flavor is sweet with strong notes of grass and medium notes of alcohol, leading to a bitter finish.

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of BrianK. Hazy amber golden with a creamy, off-white head. Sweetish caramel in the aroma with lots of alcohol. Medium body, some caramel flavours, some yeast and a distinct alcohol burn in the finish. Not bad, just....superfluous. 190408

Blind tasting at Papsoes place, another great session, thanks Henrik! Beer #16: Pours hazy orange with a fully diminished off white head. Dry malty aroma, light caramel note. Flavour is mild sweet caramel malt. Light yeasty, mild bitter and with nicely integrated fruity hops notes. This goes into a dry bitter finish.

Bottle. Cloudy orange coloured with a medium sized off white head. Aroma of malts, caramel and sulpur with notes of fruits. Sweet flavour of caramel and fruits with notes of dried fruits, sulphur and hops. Hoppy finish.

Red - dark amber color; average head size, but reducing quickly. Mild aroma: caramel, nuts, light hop resins. Full bodied, it has good dark caramel flavor, not really sweet, with traces of roasted nuts and more roasted malt at the end; unfortunately there is also a light dusty feeling; strong bitterness. All the way an American Strong Ale, but a bit purposeless.

clear dark burgandy, wispy beige head, drips of lace, dry dark malt aroma with spicy esters and a hint of fruit, creamy body, rich malt flavor with lots of chocolate, touch of fruity character that grows as it warms, good balancing earthy hops, light bitterness, nice spicyness, flavor is much better than the aroma would indicate,

sweet caramel and vanilla notes coming through on the aroma, nice sticyness in the creamy body, picking up some smokiness in the flavor in addition to the dark caramel and ripe fruits, nice lingering bitterness,

Hazy brown with medium off white head. Sweet aroma with off notes. Swete flavor with fruity and caramel notes. Ends sweet.

Slightly hazy darkish-amber colour. Has a slight caramel accent to the aroma. Dry hop taste, plus some dryness from the alcohol. Really caramelly. Interesting, I didn’t know it wasn’t supposed to be a tripel and that definitely confused me.

(Bottle) Pours a mahogany body with a small beige head. Aroma of toffee, toastiness, raisins, and cocoa. Flavor of hops, fruit, and caramel.
