Clear mahogany color. Thin head, rich malty nose with notes of butterscotch, milk chocolate, caramel and bread. Smooth rich mouth with milk chocolate, dark fruit and bread notes. The mouth lingers well past the last drop. Kind of between an Theakstons and a Celebrator (though not up to those standards).

Bottled. Pours a clear, deep red, with a big beige head. Aroma is sweet malty and caramel. Taste is sweet caramel and malts

A clear red beer with a huge light brown head. The aroma is dominated by caramel, but also with hints of straw - and the flavor is pretty much like the aroma, but the body is thin.

Bottle. Amber colour with a small tan head. Caramel malty aroma and a sweet malty, fruity taste. Medium body and a sweet dry finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) 6,5% ABV in this version. Beautiful, reddish brown colour with a small, off-white head. Spicy nose with notes of caramel. Rather dry with a sharp, bitter finish. Lacks the solid, malty base of a German-style Bock. 221005
