From the bottled the beer poured a darker amber color with a thin white head and good carbonation. Very sweet fruitiness to the nose at first with some nice caramel malt and a slight nuttiness to follow. Flavor is heavy of caramel malt at first and flows into a nice sweet raisin tone which sticks for a bit after the beer is gone. Thin head sticks around throughout the tasting. Good beer to sit around and drink but nothing too special here.

Bottle thanks to ilovedarkbeer for this. Largish, light brown head with a clear copper body. Aroma of cardboard, malt, and fruit. Taste is sweet and malty with a odd, musky malt finish. Dryish fizzy mouthfeel.

Medium beige head. Hazy amber body with vigourous carbonation. Sweet intense malty raisins aroma. Sweet alcoholic malty taste with raisiny roasty cinnamon notes. Slightly roasty, watery notes. Harmonic and balanced. Fullish body. Mild mouthfeel. Dry roasty rye aftertaste with earth and nut notes. Very nice. (0.355l bottle at some pub in western Copenhagen. Rated twice, exact same score both times.)

Pours copper into the glass with a white head. Aroma is very malty and caramel-sweet. Flavor is malt heavy, with just enough bitterness to make it enjoyable.
