Sampled at DØE Beerfestival 2007, Valby. Pours a amber beer with a big white head. The aroma is sweet with hops, spices, fruits and some alcohol. The flavor is sweet with caramel and dried fruits. The palate is sticky and sweet. Overall an easy drinkable beer.

Bottle at chris o’s teabag for 2009 tasting. Alround rating: Sweet, riasins and plums, lots of sticky brown sugar, decent barley wine.

Bottle at Chris o New Year tasting 08/09. Last beer of the tasting for me. Amber colour, thin ivory head. Sweetish fruity sweet beer with some alcohol evident. OK.

Bottle at home, vintage 2008. Dark amber with a light brown head. Aroma heavy malty, caramel, roasted, and hoppy. Flavor almost heavy sweet, light to medium bitter. Full body, almost flat.

Draught at Cockney Pub, Århus
Amber color. At times it reminds me the Withbread Gold Label, surely not one of my favorites, having just a oily and alcoholic caramel flavor and a quite strong bitterness; this one has also some vegetables in. 3 years ago I would have rated it higher, but today for me it’s almost booze.

500ml bottle bought at Gl. Strand Øl & Vin. Described as an extra strong pilsner. Golden brown body under a firm, off-white head quickly disappearing. Bread malt aroma. Medium to full palate, but still rather savourless, only brief hints of sweet, dried fruits. Overpowering alcohol (rating no. 1800) (hotel room, Hotel Danmark 19.09.2008).
