Helsinge Dunkel

Brewed by Helsinge Ångbryggeri
Style: Dunkel
Söderhamn, Sweden

It poured a hazy dark brown liquid with a big light brown foam. It had a fairly weak smell of malt, caramell and wood. It had a similar taste of malt, fudge and caramell. It had a medium smooth mouthfeel with just a bit of stingyness. The body was light and a bit watery. Lacks some taste which draws down the points but still not a bad beer.

(On tap) Clear orangey brown with a tall, dense, beige head leaving laces. Clean, roasted malt aroma. Medium body with lightly sweet, roasted malt and a whiff of flowery hops. Light bitterness in the finish. Clean and pleasant. 190908

Dark brown body and a tan on the head. Aroma is hard to find but I sense some sweet burnt malt. Flavor is little hopy and burnt sugar.
