Allen (1282), Switzerland Apr 8, 2009 Bottled 650ml. Courtesy of badlizard. Appearance: It pours a hazy ruby brown beer with a small beige head. Good lacework. Aroma: Hop resin, raisins, lychee, nutmeg, cherry, oak, crystal malt and fennel showing up. Flavor and palate: Subdued bitterness. Hints of nutmeg. Malt accented. Sweet. Fennel in the finish.

Pinball (2678), Allerød, Denmark Mar 29, 2009 port brewery shark attack, double red ale
reddish amber brown with a small offwhite head.
strong hoppy like if several different kinds of hops were mixed, slightly acidic aroma, also some dark fruits
flavor is also very hoppy, sweet malty, very american, very faint dark fruits drowned in hops so only the sweetness shines through.
