33cl. bottle from the supermarket, funny old-fashioned label. Small, dence head with a very dark brown colour. Faint hops in aroma, but the high alcohol really kicks in here. Light sweetness, medium to full body, the high abv. is present all the time, leaving a burning sensation on the palate. Light notes of caramel, liquorice and hops in the finish. A bit unrefined beer, I miss some more subtle flavor notes. Anyways, its a cheap beer.

Bottle shared at tasting. Pours clear brown with very small white head. Aroma is malt, caramel, brown sugar and sweet dark fruit. Flavour has same aspects and high alcohol percentage is mostly hidden apart from a little warmth in the finsh.
