Man, there really wasn’t do hang your tastebuds on with this beer. First, the label looks like some kind of 3-way pecker rub going on. Not usually a good sign, but what the hell do I know. An aroma of light floral accents and soap, with a touch of wortyness to it. Appearance was a light brown/tan in color with lots and lots of floaties. In fact it looked like my brother spit some of his Cope in the damn glass. Watery consistancy. Flavor of an undefined sweetness. Like sucking on unflavored rock candy. Nothing remotely tasty about this beer. Palmnuts eh?

Bottle, bought @ Bjergtrolden, Roskilde.
Pours hazy amber with a fine, creamy, off-white head. Good duration. Lots of rather large floaties. Mild aroma, rather sweet, some nuttiness and coconut. Fine, lightly creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is a bit sharp in alcohol, sweet, lightly roasted with clear yeast definition. Not excatly bad, just a bit too harsh.

Bottle. [Courtesy of yespr, thanks buddy] Average off-white bubbly head that mostly diminished. Clear golden / amber colour. Fair display of lacework. Aroma of toasted malt, fruit, mild sour notes. Light bodied with an average carbonation. Moderated sweet flavour. Sweet fruity and nutty finishes.

330ml bottle. Brown murky color with tons of particulates floating throughout. Nice large head and lively but smooth mouthfeel. The aroma is pretty rugged, with an in-your-face sweet alcohol laced smell. The taste is a little devolved, despite being more than a year from expiration. Mellows considerably throughout the glass. Mild sweet nutty flavor with a nice fruity yeast taste. An exotic treat.
