Clear golden without head. Aroma is very sweet, light malty and very alcoholic. Flavor is extremely sugary sweet and light bitter. Sticky palate and a very alcoholic finish. I can’t believe how little flavor they manage to get out of a 10 % ABV beer. 051209

Clear golden of color with a white head. An aroma of herbs, dust, old cloth and smoke. A flavor of herbs, butter and dust.

Golden yellow-orange sparkling clear body and a small diminishing rocky head. Heavy alcohol, but I guess not too much. Heavy malt aroma, nuts and a bit caramel. A well balanced bitter and warming finish, that lasts for a long time. A beer with good quality.

Draught at Charlies. Clear golden coloured with a mediumn sized white head, Sweet aroma of malts, caramel and alcohol with notes of marzipan. Sweet flavour of malts, caramel, hops and alcohol. Hoppy and warming alcoholic finish.

Bottle @ Home. Golden, fast dimishing small white head. Aroma is malt, sweet caramel, nuts and booze. Taste is sweet slightly burnt caramel, sweet malt, way to much alcohol. Unpleasant. 101111

Bottle from Høkeren, Copenhagen. Pours a headless, deep clear golden body. Nose is pale malts, alcohol and nutty sweetness. Taste is sweet pale malts, booze, dry hops with metallic hints. Too sweet and heavy for the otherwise light, flavorless body. Not too good.

Golden with a low head. Aroma of sugar, alcohol and corn. The flavour is cloying - very cloying. And the rest went into the sink ...

Bottle. [thanks dad]
Pours hazy golden with a small, creamy, white head. Quickly becomes a thin film. Aroma is sweet, malty, chewy, alcohol. Medium carbonation, fat and oily mouthfeel. Flavour is very sweet, malty, some brewing cereal, sugar and quite powerful alcohol.
