Bottle @ Danish Summer Gathering, Ulfborg 2011. Very hazy (almost muddy) amber, with no head. Malty, grainy with citric hops and a touch of yeast, a tad soapy and some spices in the background.

Bottle from Deeside Drink Emporium, Banchory. It pours cloudy dark amber, with a thick white head. The nose is brown bread, toasted malt, plastic, tires and wood. The taste is caramel, sweet malt, toast, nut, powdery, plastic, burnt tire and some toffee, with a dry finish. Medium body and moderate carbonation. Ok, but not great.

Cloudy amber with a small off-white head. Aroma of dried fruit and bready malt. Dry fruity flavour with a bit of cardboard.

Botella. Unclear deep amber colour. Pleasnat fruity caramel toasty malty aroma. Ok mouthfeel. Fruity toasty malty flavour, some citrus too. Nice.

Bottle. A clear, dark amber body with a small, white head. Weak nose with some toasted malts and a fruity hint. Rather weak flavor too, roasted and toffee-ish, slighlty licorice like and bitter. Medium body. Short, roasted finish with some bitterness. A boring one, even for a British bitter. 110819
