Brown coloured beer with some medium carbonation and an average off-white head. Light roasted malty sweet aroma with some fruity touches. Full palate. Finish is full-malty, light roasted bitter sweet with some light alcoholic touches. Rather good one.

Pours a muddy brown colour with a thin tight head. Fruity, hop aroma. Quite a high carbonation but maintains a smooth fairly thin texture. Not at all sweet for a bruin beer. It is on the border of having a slight sour edge. Some maltiness but overall has a mediocre, average flavour. Not bad though.

Bottle 33 cl. @ home Dark redbrown color, large creamy head. Aroma: sour, malts. Medium body. Taste dark malts; little sweet, little bitter. It’s like more alcohol than just the 6,5 % Not bad beer. .

Bottle Lightly brown, very rocky head, like Orval only darker. Hazy brown body. Very lovely. Lightly malty aroma. Lightly sweet, lightly bitter flavour. Ok beer, but quite one dimensional. There are way better beers.

The head is huge, golden and nice on this dark amber beer. The aroma has notes of dark fruit, raisins and caramel, so it surprices med the the flavour is rather thin. It does have notes of caramel, candy sugar, fruits and raisin, and it’s rather sweet. But even if it’s light, it still is pretty charming and nice. 1689

Bottled at Delirium, Gothenburg. Dark amber. Huge and firm beige head. Lightly sourish aroma. Malty and sourish flavour. Rather lively carbonated.

(Bottled) Dark reddish brown with a smallish, foamy and tanned, mostly fading head. Slightly sweet and roasted-malty aroma with iron and toffee hints. Neutral-malty, slightly tart flavor with medium bitterness. Very foamy-carbonated, medlium-bodied palate. A potentially decent beer spoiled with way too much carbonation. You hardly taste anything behind the foam.
