Bottle. It surprised me with it’s clear, dark brown body and nice finger-thick off-white to beige head, but the aroma and flavor was unfortunately more like expected. Worse actually. It has a sweetish wort-aroma with loads of dish-washing water added, some cough medicine blending in and a generic puke-like touch. The flavor is a tad better, starting with sweet wort in a slightly bad way, then lots of caramel chimes in, accompanied by roasted malts and sugar. Some fruityness too, probably from hops, but there’s not much. Not much bitterness either, but there’s some, both hoppy and roasted, Fizzy, medium body that leaves a sugary fur on your teeth, and dries up after a while. Sticky-sweet finish with roasted malts and a hint of bitterness. Didn’t finish the bottle, not by far, and will certainly not revisit this one. 091220

Thanks Yngwie. It’s mahogany-red with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of soap, syrup, malt and caramel. The moderately sweet flavour has notes of soap, caramel and licorice, and the finish is dry. If you have to drink an alcohol free beer, this actually is drinkable.
