Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt, alcohol, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, fruit, and caramel, leading to a dry alcoholic finish. The body is thick. Thanks KimJohansen for sharing.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of KimJohansen. Clear orangey brown with a small off-white head. Intense aroma of caramel, overripe fruit and alcohol. Quite full-bodied, sweet roasted malts, overripe fruit and caramel with a yeasty edge. Warming alcoholic finish. More like a Quad really. 300809

Golden-brown colour. The aroma is heavy on the molasses and alcohol. Sweet, figgy taste with hints of piloncillo and tobacco. Chocolate and overripe pear in the finish. Not bad.
