Bottle @ ZZT VII, thx to everyone for sharing their bottles. Aroma has lots of caramel malt, some toasted notes, raisin. Some burned caramel in taste, too alcoholic. Somehow there’s something nasty that doesnt attract me at all to this brew.

Aroma is sweetish with berries and vanilla. Flavour has lots of berries typical to Danish ales, caramel and alcohol. Leathery palate. Too much berries here and also the alcohol disturbs a bit.
