Bottle, bought @ LIVA, Kolding.
as Johannes Larsen Ale
Pours pale orange-brown with a small, staying, frothy, off-white head. Fine lacings. Aroma has caramel, sweet chocolate, some clear cardboard notes. Medium carbonation, fairly dry and light creamy mouthfeel. Flavour has grainy chocolate, some hazelnuts, cardboard yeastiness, light astringent with mild lactic acid. Good malty dry finish. Not particularly good.
2.6 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Johannes Larsen Ale. I would have expected a beer named after a painter with a focus on birds and nature, would have been a light and natural beer instead of this rather heavy ale. The beer is dark with a tanned head. Heavy malty aroma with caramel, coffee and oak. Bittersweet flavor, with a rather extraordinary metallic bitter bitaste.

Bottled, as Kerteminde Johannes Larsens Ale. Hazy nut brown, small head. Coffee and molasses up front. Medium bodied with somewhat stocky un-firm mouthfeel. Some toffee and lingonberry. Low bitterness.

2.9 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 11/20
Brown with a decent head. Roasted bread, nuts, a bit of soil are spotted in the aroma. Sweet chocolate-like flavours, and again I detect a bit of smoke in a Kerteminde-production. Don’t know why ... Well done, anyway.
