On tap at the brewpub. Pours slightly hay amber wi small off-white head. Clear aroma of malt with notes of caramel. Bitter, hoppy taste, with subtle notes of caramel and grain. Too watery. Nothing to write home about.

Dark brown. Brown and white head Light nose. Hint of sweetness Very sweet and earthy. Some strawberries and pine cone

On draught at brewpub. Pours with a brown color with deep ruby hues. Fine white head. Malty aromas. Medium body. Sweet flavor balance with a dry finish. Very nice.

Tap at Vesterbro Bryghus, Copenhagen. Pours red-brown with a fine, filmy cream head. Nose holds some caramel, sweet berries, dark sugars. Medium sweet flavor with a kind of nice, ripe berry character; it’s not the dusty malt-cocoa brown ale to which I am accustomed. A bit of caramel sweetness. Light to medium bodied with fine carbonation. Actually dries out a touch to finish, with more toasty malts, ripe semi-dark fruits, light dry caramel. Very, very one-dimensional, but nice enough. It does have the faintest hints of cocoa.

Tap @ Vesterbro Bryghus.
Pours dark redish amber with a thin, off-white film head. Toasted caramel aroma, lightly burnt, some grass and vegetables. Medium carbonation, thin and weirdly dry mouthfeel. Flavour is sharp, citric, roasted, lots of vegetable. The worst of quite a few bad beers.

Tap at Vesterbro Bryghus. Dark amber colour with a small off-white head. Aroma and flavour of malt, hops, caramel and fruit.

Draft sample @ the brewpub. Pours a hazy red-brown with an off-white head. Yoghurt aroma with malt and grassy notes. Slightly tart. Notes of cooked vegetables as it warms. Sweetish malt flavour, but nothing special. Not much else going on. Sweet, dryish, malty finish. Cereal and faint grassy and yoghurt notes lingering. Not very brown ale-like. 01-08-09.
