bottle 75cl all by myself heh heh , found in ølbutikken (bbf 2012) ap:pours dark brown, some floaties, small yellow/lighty brown head. strong fruity, raisins , dark fruits aroma, some alc or rather oomph power to it. butter-roasted white bread. palate is too bubbly for me, bubble-up-in-my-mouth-feeling. [after waiting 10mins palate got real good] flavor is good. caramel, sweet dark fruits, candi sugar. ends in some kind of alc and spices bitterness that also isn’t THAT good. After i let it warm up and settle a white, it got loads better. don’t serve below 12celcius. you’ll need a well tempered bottle to do a fair rating.

<i>Courtesy of Styles</i><br /><br /> Bottle: The aroma consists of fruit, caramel, banana, raisin, and slight vinous notes. It pours a cloudy orangish-red with lots of sediment and a half-inch off white head. The flavor starts moderately fruity with banana and yeast. There is some faint candi sugar in the middle. The finish is lightly vinous with some light-moderate raisin and a touch of alcohol. It’s medium bodied with lively carbonation that initially comes across a tad prickly at times. However, after sitting for 10 minutes, the carbonation really softens.

Bottle: pours a cloudy orangish-brown with a thin white head, aroma of yeast, sweet caramel and dark fruits, taste is sweet but dry, plenty of dark fruit flavor, spices, very carbonated, a bit of the alcohol in the finish, very nice job with this one.
