Bottle. Pours a nice hazy mahogny colour with a thick creamy long lasting light brown head. Strong aroma of fruitiness and alcohol, malt, yeast, plenty of sweet caramel. Very good soft, sweet, malty, caramel, malty, fruity, alcoholic and bit yeasty flavour. Nice long lasting sweet finish of dark fruits. Warms the belly up!

Bottle. Dark unfiltered amber color. Large creamy head. Sweet nose from dark sugar and toffee. Excellent balance and wonderful taste of fruits, sugars, coffee and caramel. A bit like Chimay Blue only much better finish and mouthfeel. Found at frits P Århus DK.

Bottle... Saint Patrick’s Day 2007... Murky amber ale with a large, rocky, off-white head. Everlasting, creamy retention. Earthy, sweet nose provides notes of rawhide, brown sugar and wine with a whisper of acidity. The flavor has excellent balance. Sweet, but not cloying. Bitter, but not harsh. Acidic, but not tart. Medium to full-bodied with crisp (but not prickly) carbonation. Crisp, lightly bitter finish.

Bottle at home. Sweet aroma and flavour, marshmallow like. Citrusy, grassy and sweet. Hoppy. Marsapin finish. Warms at the end. Nice. Alchol is well-hidden.

(Bottle, Monk’s Café, Stockholm, 2 Feb 2006) Dark ruby colour with frothy off-white head, some lacing. Fruity nose with notes of dark fruit and black-currant. Malty, fruity taste with dark fruit, black-currant, dried figs, raisins and chocolate with a spicy, chocolatey, slightly bitter finish. Drier than expected. Very nice!
