Bottled. Dark copperish/amber colour, with mediumsized foamy beigeish brown head. Aroma of caramel, rye, chocolate and alcohol. At first not much flavour, but then a huge peak of sweet caramellish malt with some hints of chocolate, and hops in finish. Ok brew, though I think I would choose the III version if I bought more of this.

Bottle from Tbone_. Brown color, cloudy. Chocolate and raisin in the strong aroma. Porto flavor. Sweet, sugary, yet thin. Seens a bit oxidated, but tastes good enough. Cinnamon. Loads of flavor in the beer, that somehow tastes rough, sugary and cheap. But the aroma is nice.

Dark, caramel, burnt and tasty. For some reason I ended up getting quite a few of these free last year, and really enjoyed them. Not your basic dunkel. but rather had some bitterish tones. Last christmas they changed it to winter beer, which I’m yet to taste.

Bottle. Dark amber colour with a tan head. Light grassy, caramel malty aroma and a sweet caramel malty, hay taste. Medium body with a sweet finish.

Bottled. Dark brown color, limpid and rather dense with a light fizz. Abundant and foamy head, good adhesion and duration. Enough anonymous scent with light notes of toasts wood and malt; light alcoholic and resin rumors. Firm taste, little lively, with bitterish and little alcoholic aromas with a pleasant note of roast caramel. Bitter end, little balanced and without great characteristics. Thanks to mabjork fot this beer.

A red brown beer with a thin beige head. Both the aroma and flavor are sweet malty with primary notes of caramel. OK.

Dark amber color. Very simple beer with a lot of caramel, medium sweet taste.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear amber with a creamy, off-white head. Aroma of caramel and alcohol. Very full-bodied with caramel and a somewhat raw, bitter finisg. Almost closer to a Vienna. Thanks to tbone_ for this. 170406

Deep dark amber colored, little white head. Sweetness, malts, caramel, mild chocolate and nuts in aroma, also thin alcohol comes up. Medium bodied. Mild burned sugar, sweetness, caramel in flavor, aftertaste is sweet with with roasted, mildly hopped and alcoholic tones.

Bottled. Dark Red /Brown in colour. Rich creamy beige head, lacings. It has a fruity and malyt aroma with some caramel. The flavour is sweet and fruityand it has a hoppy finish.

Nice off-white head, red color with notes of brown. Sweet, bread-like aroma with some nasty corniness. The flavor is quite full with some lovely maltiness and a tight ending. I also noticed some alcohol. The palate is a bit over-carbonated but overall this is a pretty balanced packet.
