thewolf (3392), Kolding, Denmark Jul 13, 2008 Bottle @ the RBESG08 Grand Tasting.
Pours muddy brown with almost no head. Just a weak foam. Aroma has caramel, roasted and good raisin notes. Fine, oily mouthfeel, perhaps a bit flat. Flavour is very vinious - just a tad too much. Good roasted caramel. Good power, ugly but an okay beer. anders37 (2505), Malmö, Sweden Jul 12, 2008 Bottle. Pours a slightly murky color with a small off-white head.
