thewolf (3959), Kolding, Denmark Feb 25, 2008 Bottle @ Yespr tasting. [thank you, Yespr]
Pours a great clear brown with a big, staying creamy off white head - great lacing. All in all a beautiful beer. Aroma is sweet, light caramel and some sweet fruits. Good mouthfeel, quite creamy. Flavour is surprisingly bitter with a good roasted malty edge along with some light chocolate. Perhaps a bit unbalanced and weird, but still quite nice.
bierkoning (4920), La Tropica, Netherlands Oct 7, 2008 Bottle. Dark brown color. Pineapple in the aroma. Very sweet flavor with pineapple and a hint of caramel. Simple, just a bit alcoholic beer. goozen (763), Leiden, Netherlands Sep 6, 2008 Bottle 0,33ltr: Hazy brown coloured ale with an chocolate and caramel taste. And good bitter finish. JorisPPattyn (4497), Antwerpen, Belgium Jul 12, 2008 Huge, very fine and dense, light-greige head over dark red-amber beer. Chocolate and greenery - but old, drying one, leafy - or drying tobacco leaves, as before processing. Dry taste, with slightly tobacco-ash notes; retronasal sugary, toffee-like sweetness, but, as everything, quite restrained in the good sense of the word. Again I’m reminded of drying tobacco leaves. Better than expected. Medium to well bodied, slick, very slightly viscous. Despite my misgivings about the beernamesfactory responsible, as well as about the specific origins of the name of this beer, I cannot but like it. Storm (2683), Amager, Denmark Mar 22, 2008 Bottle. Cloudy, amber colour with a huge, fluffy head. Sweet cookie-like aroma and notes of vanilla. Flavour of caramel, yeast, and toffee-like. Ends up dry - very high carbonated. faroeviking (4387), Faroese Autonomous Beer Republic, Denmark Mar 2, 2008 Bottle. Amber-brown. Huge well lasting creamy white head leaving a good lacing. Sweet and fruity aroma with a pleasant maltiness. Good mouthfeel. The flavour has a good profound maltiness with some yeast, fruits and caramel.
