Aromatischer und komplexer Malzgeruch, gepaart mit leichter Hopfigkeit. Malzig-süßer Antrunk, bleibend, etwas hopfig, zu süß. Nach und nach wandelt sich dies alerdings in Würzigkeit, das Bier ist nunmehr intensiver, hat den Gipfel aber noch nicht erreicht. Ein herber Ausgleichston wäre zu Harmonisierung wünschenswert. 11/11/11/10/fl/11

Bottle at KØ-10. An almost clear, brown beer topped by a minimal beige head. Dried fruits and alcohol in the aroma, a touch of caramel too. Subdued hops in the aroma, but they play a bigger role in the flavor, providing a good bitterness and some citrus. Dried fruits and caramel sweetness too. The alcohol is quite evident, especially in the warming and sweet finish. Full body. A nice beer, like how the hops chime in in the flavor. 100506
