Clear amber coloured, thin, quicly diminishing white head; big fruity (raisins or dried plums) nose, some traces of alcohol; heavy sweet start, full sweet malty flavour, low caerbonation, smooth, distinctive bitter-sweet ending. Good, but not a world class brew

Bottle. Pours a clear deep amber with an average creamy off-white head that lasted. Heavy caramel and fruit aroma with a small alcohol tone. Medium body with soft carbonation. Well balanced bitter sweet flavor with a light alcohol bite and long finish. Very drinkable brew.

Definitely alcoholic, but sweet enough to mask most of the vapors. It goes down smoothly and has a distinctive caramel mouthfeel.

Golden reddish amber with a big bubbled white head. Vinous fruity aroma with pears and light hops. Sweet caramel in mouth, with notes of vanilla, licorice and oranges. Viscous bodied, rich and smooth in mouth, loud aclohol notes, remaining in mouth throughout! Excellent. Can from Piscator, from Manitoba.Merci Kris!

Bottle at Esbjerg beerfestival. Brown colour with a beige head. Aroma is alcohol, caramel, malt, hop. Flavour is sweet, alcohol, caramel, malt, hop. Full body . A waming beer.

Yellow-creamy head for some secs, (and than only for the frozen glass); orange-foxy beer, clear. Quite sweet nose, extremely concentrated grainy smell, alcohol there but not over-obvious, a touch nutty; peppery-vinous finish. Unexpectedly bitter initial taste, some hoppiness even. Monstrous malt lurking underneath, cookie and very (hazel)nutty. There’s also a ever more presence of almonds, turning nearly marzipan flavour. Bitterish-burnt rich malty finish. Syrupy, very slick mouthfeel, very well-bodied, of course. Alcohol in the aftertaste, some adstringency and dry-out effect. A monster of a beer, but not a monstrous beer, if you get the diff’. It’s been always too sweet and too roaste for my preference - but no discussion about it being something special.

Bottled. The beer pours a vibrant orange Lucozade colour with no head whatsoever. The aroma is a bit eggy and sulphuric with a bit of toffee and lots of alcohol. The taste is creamy. thick and gloopy alcohol with a bit of cod liver oil mixed in. It is sweet and a bit cloying but still fun to drink!

Bright orange/pink hue. Apple cider in the aroma, quite dry with a sugary sweet flavor of orange, and grapes. Warms the back of the tongue like a good distilled spirit.
