Bottle. Clear amber brown with a thin white head. Aromas of brown bread crusts, caramel, slightly spicy. Bready and toasty flavours with subtle spice. Nothing to blow you away, but delicious in the same way a simple homemade loaf of fresh bread can be.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a huge brown head. The aroma has notes of malt as well as lighter notes of spices. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and spices.

I received this bottle as an extra from leftmindedrighty, thanks! I think this must be about a year old at this point. I poured it into a standard pint glass (was I supposed to use a pilsener?). The color was a murky brown, not a color I usually see in my ales. The smell was faint (my sense of smell sucks) but malty. The taste was a little sweet but that did not affect drinkability. The alcohol was unnoticeable. I was expecting to get some sort of banana or clove taste but I didn’t. I would definitely buy this if given the chance. Another victory for my taste!

Bottle. Pours an amber body with an off whtie head. Malty caramel,l bitter and herbal earth tones. Dark roasted malt, with a strong bitterness to finish. Decent beer, as for alt...

Cloudy amber with a medium off head. Aroma was sweet with plums, roasted malt and figs. Flavour had dark fruits, caramel and roasted malt. Somewhat oxydized and it had warning alcohol.

Very much like the description says, it starts out with a very assertive hop flavor and aroma and mellows out to a very grainy sweet maltiness. This beer is big and tasty.

Received this in an extra on BA. This beer pours a little cloudy golden brown color. a little sweet , with a little hop present. Very nice beer. would love to have this all the time

Pours a very hazy yellow/brown with very little head. Aroma is quite dry, with a cereal malty base and very bright, fresh, grassy hop notes. Flavor is more subdued than the aroma, somewhat watery while a bit sweet and then following with the hops. Palate is also a bit watery, and the carbonation is a bit too harsh as well. A decent beer that is more interesting to smell than it is to drink.

12 fl oz bottle, courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours almost clear and golden orange with a a small off-white head. Aroma is dry malty and somewhat oxidised. Subdued sweet and slight hoppy flavoured. Caramel and slight spiced flavoured. Ends dry and malty.

Bottled. Slightly hazy amber coloured. Malty and bready aroma. Sweetish malty flavour. Medium bodied. Doesn’t taste like 8,5%.
