Amber mid brown colour and hoppy. Floral aromas. Crisp lasting malt finish. Ungstrup (11385), Frederiksberg, Denmark Dec 7, 2005 [Cask at GBBF 2005] An amber beer with a small white head. The aroma is slightly roasted, while the flavor is yeasty with a dry end. Not my beer. chris_o (4409), London, Greater London, England Sep 7, 2005 Cask (gravity dispense), GBBF, August 2005. With so few dark beers on offer, I looked forward to every one I tried with some anticipation. But this one didn’t make too much of an impression. Not very dark. Rather undeveloped malt character. Sweet, soft and a bit dull. Not well conditioned.
tiggmtl (4179), Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada Sep 6, 2005 Sweet nutty notes to the malt forward aroma. Clear copper coloured body with low, white, fully diminishing head. Odd citrusy, pumpkin flavour with some notes of cocoa and butter and a cardboard like stale character. Medium body is sticky , slick and syrupy with low carbonation. Cask at GBBF 2005. Hildigöltur (5056), København Ø, Denmark Aug 18, 2005 [Cask conditioned] Amber coloured. Malty aroma. Sweet and malty flavour. Oxidized notes.
