[Bottle from Ivan.] Sweet, but not too sweet for the style. Dark sweet nutnotes. Thirstquencing and dangerous slammerbeer.

Grovlam (4106) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - JUL 8, 2008
Can 50 cl. Nice looking beige large bubbly head that mostly lasted. Fair display of lacework. Somewhat cloudy looking dark amber color. Aroma was nice mild roasted malt, nutty, brown sugar, toffee, rye bread. Over the palate came mild counter hoppy feel. Quite nice. Medium to full bodied with an average carbonation and mild alcoholic and thick texture. Moderated to heavy sweet flavor with mild bitterness. Somewhat lingering sweet roasted malty finish.

Dedollewaitor (9254) - Odense, DENMARK - JUN 8, 2008
Can. Thanks to JensenTaster. Pours amber/brown with a off white creamy & bubbly head. Aroma is mild - caramel & bread. A bit of sweetness. Slightly ashy & roasted flavor. Warmth from alcohol. Best product from brewery yet!

Dark brown with a small white head. Weak aroma of bready malt. Medium dry flavour of malt, with a strong alcohol note.

Pinball (7771) - Copenhagen, DENMARK - MAY 23, 2008
50cl can, fakta (i think) sweet aroma that i could pick up from a distance after pouring. dark reddish-brown, clear, small white-brown head with fine bubbels. Taste is good, but overwhelmed by way too much alc. the total experience is quite frightening (not good). brown suger, malty notes, if i ignore the too dominant alc. taste, the rest of the flavor is very good. Did they add alc. to get it to 7.7? if so, a shame. Average palate. Overall i get the feeling someone poured voka in an otherwise great beer.
