A hazy amber beer with a disappearing white head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of caramel, and so is the flavor.

[Bottled at Stockholm Beer Festival] Clear reddish amber, near no head. Buttery malt aroma. Low hop rate, some butter and caramel, but the clean, hard mouthfeel doesn’t let much flavor out.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, dark amber with a small, creamy, off-white head. Rather sweet aroma with distinct caramel. Medium body with loads of caramel and perhaps a touch of nuts. Very vague underlying tartness. Quite lovely and unusual - and by far the most interesting CC I’ve ever had (although it isn’t really saying much....) 230306

Dark amber; aroma of candied fruits, brown sugar, vanilla, toffee, pears; sweet palate shows more candy, peaches, slight woody notes, Belgian specialty malts (like biscuit and maybe a tiny bit of Special B - anyone else get this or I am just wishing?)...anyway back to the point. This is a sweet, soft (creamy even), complex beer that shows more 'steam' characteristics than Anchor does.

Bottle. A amber beer with a big off-white head. The aroma is of caramel malt, fruits and cookies, the taste is light roasted, caramel malt, fruits and cookies. Medium body with a sweet light dry finish. Quit nise!
