Cask at Christian Firtal. Hazy pale copper with no head. Aroma of caramel and fruit, winegum, vanilla and alcohol. Sweet and alcoholic flavour with caramel and fruit and a touch of apple peel. Such a fantastic story, but in the end it just tastes like a 12% Greene King beer...

Cask at The Wharf, Aalborg, Denmark
Red-amber color with absolutely no head. Nice aroma, mild, with vinous notes, balsamic vinegar, caramel. Round body, a bit oily; good malt and caramel flavor, with moderate sweetness; the alcohol perception is well managed; correct bitterness, with an elegant nutty touch in the end, and some warmth; hints of Porto wine after the maltiness.
Subtle and nice.
