3.1 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 12/20Bottled. Aroma of raisins, madeira and some vanilla. Reddish brown color, off-white head, good lace. Quite sweet, rather bitter, prunes, hints of milk chocolate and vanilla as well. Pretty flat yet cloying. Vienna? No Dunkel to me at least. I think if not pasteurized and fresh on tap this could be a very nice beer. Thanks Savad!

2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20
Peppery malt nose. Impressive clarity with copper body and a decent white puff head, served by consistent carbonation. Very ’quaff’ mouthfeel from the get-go, initial mineral taste. Taught bitterness and metallic malt with a rounded creamy sweetness. Almost a little like Swizzels Drumsticks in a weird creamy fruit squeeze to the finish, with a metallic dryness to the finish.
I don’t doubt this beer is kept and poured to perfection, and was dispensed by the most serious barman I saw all trip. Not bad but easily forgettable if it travelled any further north in Europe.

Bottle sample at a tasting at the Beer & Beyond shop. Thanks Rotem. Clear reddish brown with a cream-coloured head. A little fruity and bready aroma, also metallic. Tastes sweet and nasty. Light body, rather soft carbonation, weird aftertaste.

1.8 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
UPDATED: APR 1, 2013 11.2 oz bottle. Pours slightly hazy copper with a medium sustaining beige head. Smells of overbearing caramel, definitely not something I look for. Taste is also overbearing sweet caramel malt; no bitterness. Thin body. Not good.
2 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 3/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 7/20
Amber i färgen med offwhite skum. Söt och fruktig i karaktären. Gräs, fruktig malt, maltsötma, lite biteert på slutet.
2.9 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 10/20
Not as good as the 1835 version, but a good pale colour and pleasant tasteful beer. Out of the common sense beer in Portugal.
