TheGrandMaster (1490), Auckland, New Zealand Jul 16, 2008 Bottle, pours a lovely mahogany brown with a think foamy light beige head. A good caramal malt aroma, slightly nutty. A smooth and nutty malt palate. Goes a bit "soft" in the swallow, losing a lot of its flavour and its mouthfeel, with the finish being rather thin and bland. Shame. donfardz64 (115), Wellington, New Zealand May 13, 2008 Pours very dark amber, thin head. Looks almost like a schwarzbier. Hits with a bitter body, no hop flavour, almost no carbonation. Papsoe (10359), Frederiksberg, Denmark Feb 23, 2008 (Bottle 50 cl) Clear, orangey brown with a neat, dense, beige head. Lightly burned malts in the aroma combined with a nutty whiff. Medium-bodied with burned malt accents, a little caramel and a fairly bitter finish. 210208 Plimmer (243), Frederiksberg, Denmark Feb 3, 2008 Dark brown clear body with small head. Generally not much boubles in it. Good bitter hops aftetaste. kempicus (192), Wellington, New Zealand Dec 19, 2007 Disappointing beer! Pours a dark ruby brown with an appetising head and that’s about as good as it gets…..unpleasant boiled vegetables on the nose with a sharp metallic twang. Thin palate with a muddied flavour, some hops but non of the malty nuttiness i was hoping for….i tried really hard to like this but it just did nothing for me!
