A brown beer with a thin light brown head. The aroma is sweet with a distinct nutty character. While the flavor is malty with a roasted character blended with notes of nuts, but I find the body thin inspite of the 6.5% ABV. Thanks Alex (fiulijn) for bringing this to Denmark.

Dark amber to brown color; small head. Delicate caramel aroma, Medium body strength, with good caramel flavor, compared to the bottle it’s less round and has some more chocolate touch. Correct bitterness; in the end it’s possible to find some residual sugars, also the chocolate is more evident. Solid.

Dark brown color; medium creamy head. Aroma of mildly roasted cereals, and slight oxidisation; caramel. Medium body, strong caramel flavor, dry, with roasted nuts; correct bitterness. The final is more mouthfilling, and round. Not powerful but complex enough, and well brewed.
