Sample at Copenhagen beerfestival. Medium head with medium duration. Color is brown. Aroma and taste are mainly fruits. Quite high carbonation.

33 cL bottle. Pours deep brown, almost black with brown and fast disappearing head. Aroma of fruit, roasted malt (almost orasted coffee), yeast and sweet odour. Flavour is dry to sweet malty. Finish is dried fruits. Softly carbonated.

The head is nice, but disappears rather quickly, the color is dark brown and the aroma is slightly malty with a hint of alcohol. The flavour is sweetish, malty and a bit thin with notes of licorice, plum and modest bitterness. Nothing special.

Bottle. Amber color with alot of yeast, nice big offwhite head. Great malty aroma, creamy, milky, nutty, vinous notes, raisins and notes from juniperberries. Malty vinous flavor, raisins, juniper berries. Smotth malty finish.

The aroma is malty with yeast, toast, caramel, and fruit. The appearance is raisin purple with brown. The head is non existent as the beer is totally flat. The flavor is not vinegary as I was afraid based on the age of the bottle. The palate is watery. Sadly this beer is old and flat but the taste does not seem to suffer.

I belive we got a old bottle, there is no carbination for this, but still. the malts give off decent fruit flavors and a mild astrigent bitterness at the end. I hope I can come across another of these for more a detailed review.

Dense, but little consistent cream. What it makes an impression it is the amount of “not identified objects” that come it in the glass together with. Probably not-filtered must or I leaven. Strong aroma of toasted coffee, hiding all the others that possibly exist. In the palate, in such a way extreme carbonation one, taste of strong coffee and toasting. Aftertaste of alcohol. .......................................PORTUGUÊS: Creme denso, mas pouco consistente. O que impressiona - mesmo - é a quantidade de "objetos" não identificados que vêm junto com ela no copo. Provavelmente mosto não-filtrado ou fermento, não dá pra saber. De qualquer forma, eu não tive a moral de encarar experimentar, como sugeriu o Xavier do Belgian Beer Paradise... Deixer decantar um pouco, os objetos foram pro fundo do copo e mandei bala... Aroma forte de café torrado, encobrindo todos os outros que possivelmente existam. No paladar, carbonatação um tanto excessiva, gosto de café forte e torrefação. Retrogosto de álcool.

Dark, almost black colored pour with nice small head. Nice aroma of malts and hints of chocolate. Nice roasted malty flavor to it.
