Rastacouere (5409), Montréal, Quebec, Canada Nov 15, 2007 500mL drank alone under a wind and rain storm at +1 Celsius in a graveyard on the Lofoten Islands at 4:30 a.m. Strong, everlasting off-white head covers the very dark brown to purple pour. Highly yeasty and in a rather dusty, stoney, jammy way. The wheat comes across quite grainy while the dark malts add a pretty much roasty kick akin to some of the most agreeable dunkelweizens. In mouth, this initially nameless roast develops further into chocolate chips suggestions and while it drinks very easily all along, a mellow and warming alcohol touch chimes in. Medium-bodied, natural medium-high carbonation that manages to slice through the sweetness, nicely drying out. I was quite surprised at the low scores as I found it very idiosyncratic and lovely myself, though the setup I drank it in was probably the most unusual of my young drinking career.

Nice opaque dark brown body. Fresh fruity, mainly citrus, and sweet malty aromas. Notes of spices and yeast. Taste is sweetish; malts, candysugar, ripe banana, wheat and yeast. Some fresh acidic flavors in the aftertaste. Medium body. Oily mouthfeel. Long light bitter/acidic finish. Very tasty and highly refreshing. Beer_2000 (1269), Kristiansand, Norway Jan 26, 2008 Updated: Sep 27, 2008500ml bottle. Dark, dark brown body, almost black. Big foamy, brown head. The head continued getting out of the half-empty bottle for several minutes. Without this volcanic reaction the appearance would be 5. Aroma is light roasted malt, dry fruit, leather and yeast. Flavor is roasted malt, burnt caramel, and roasted coffee. A nice beer with a balanced flavor and a bit aggressive carbonation. Refreshing and easy drinkable. One of my favorites from Haandbryggeriet.
