Pours yellow with a white head. Aroma is malt, banana, fruity and light hop. Flavour is malt, alcohol and fruity notes.

Can. Pours darkish gold with a decent whiteish head. Aroma of slight perfume. Medium plus body with foamy carbonaton. There’s heat. Flavor is mostly grain, but I think there’s a bit of hop. Not disgusting as so many high gravity lagers. This one has a bit of class. Drain pour though. My liver is worth more than this one.

Bottle at Papsø. Cloudy orange coloured with a small off white head. Sweet aroma of malts and caramel with notes of marzipan and alcohol. Sweet flavour of malts and caramel with notes of alcohol. Sweet finish.

Hazy amber with no head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, caramel, toffee and alcohol. Sweet flavour with plums, roasted malt, caramel and alcohol notes. Finished sweet with warming alcohol. Slightly oxydized but fine for a malt liquor.

Bottle. Pours a clear, light amber beer with a weak white/offwhite head. The aroma is malt, sweetness and a little perfume. The flavor is malt, sweetness, fruit and alcohol. The palate is alcoholwarmth. Overall this beer has too much alcohol.

Bottle at home. Pours a clear dark golden color with a thin, quickly disappearing white head. Aroma of fruits, malt and strongly alcoholic. Flavor is way too sweet, slightly fruity and with an almost brandy like afterburning alcohol sensation. Thick, syrupy texture and a sweet alcoholic finish. My first malt liquor and it definitely lives up to it’s style.

Bottle @ Odense Tasting, Feb 2010. Pours clear yellow with a off white head. Nose is fruit and alcohol. Medium sweet and clean. Sweet malty and dry corny flavor with some hot alcohol.

Bottle. Brown orange pour, medium sized tanned head. Aroma is malty and alcoholic. Flavour is sweet with alcohol. Not as bad as I expected.
