COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Editor's note: This beer was formerly known as Holbæk Brown Ale.
The bottled version has been brewed at Herslev Bryghus and holds 6.5% ABV.

Danish: Mørk og fyldig ale med en let sødme fra især karamelmalten. Den er brygget på en blanding af tre slags malt, blødt vand og engelsk bitterhumle samt en aromahumle, der giver øllet en frugtagtig duft og tydelig maltkarakter.

English: A dark and full-bodied ale with a light sweetness from the caramel malt. It is brewed with a mix of three different types of malt, soft water, english bittering hops and aroma hops, which gives the beer a fruity aroma and a distinct malt character.

Ungstrup (24024) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - FEB 11, 2006
An unclear deep red beer with a dense light brown head - looking at the color I’d never guess, that this is a brown ale. The aroma is slightly acidic and malty, with light notes of roasted malt. The flavor is sweet malty with light notes of chocolate and roasted malt.

Papsoe (23023) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 23, 2005
(On tap) Hazy, slightly muddy orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Light roasted, caramelish aroma. Loads of wonderful fruit esters on a soft and very malty background. Short, dry, bitter finish. Quite wellmade with a somewhat rustic "homebrewed" touch. 230805

omhper (15965) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - MAY 21, 2007
Draught at Københavnske Øldage. Clear nut brown. Sweet and smokey, clean mouthfeel. Roasty malt and shampoo, phenols meet bacon. Salty finish. Flavourful, but going everywhere at once, and with too hard mouthfeel.
