Went in judging too quickly. Interesting, sexy dark red color with a small tan head that pretty much dissipates instantly. no lacing. it smelled of coffee right off the bat with roasted nuts. Pleasant mouthfeel, medium carbonation. The taste really opens up in your mouth. Coffee at first, followed by roasted almonds, caramel, and a bitter dark chocolate finish. slightly metallic towards the bottom of the glass though. i think its a bit under rated for its taste, but i’ll have all but the butt of it.

Bottle. Frothy off-white good mostly deminishing head. Amber colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy aroma. Very week caramelic notes. Light bitter strange flavor. Ashes and molasse notes. Average moderate bitter finish. Not very sweet. Watery palate.

Bottle, bought @ Vinspecialisten, Kolding Storcenter.
Pours a lovely, deep red, bordering on chestnut. Fine, staying, frothy, off-white head. Aroma is light sweet, some toasted caramel and good grassy hops. A slight metallic edge to the aroma. Medium carbonation, fine light creamy and dryish mouthfeel. Flavour is quite nice despite some metal and minerals. Good caramel, light roasted and a fair amount of bitter, grassy hops. Fine.

Brou Czech bottle. Gusher?! Uh, oh! Pours with a minimal head and a deep brown, but clear body. Aroma of grain, brown sugar, apple, stone fruit and freshly baked hawaiian bread. Taste is toasted grain, bitter, coffee, and a metallic finish. Fizzy, thin and a bit of cardboard.

Quickly dissipating head over light brown body with a reddish tint. Pleasant roasted malt smell. Roasted malts also has a grassy, bitter hops taste. Like roasted malts over a pilsner with a few sweet notes in the mix. I liked it very much.
