Bottled. A dark golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel, leading to a dry and lightly bitter finish. The body is thick. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 35,5 cl) Courtesy of fiver29. Clear deep golden with a yellowish off-white head. Sweetish aroma of malt with a hint of citrusy hops. Quite full-bodied with plenty of sweet malt and flowery hops. Rather subdued bitterness. 041008

12 fl oz bottle, courtesy of Papsoe. Pours clear and golden orange with a small white head. Smooth citrusy hops aroma. Flavour is sweet malty yet also quite fruity on the hops side. Light fruity finish with a nice caramel malt base. Nicely balanced and not too sweet.

Deep golden colour with a thin head. Big malt nose with slight cidery notes. Intimidatingly rich dortness. Full body. Sweet malt. Creamy, pleasant pale malt development. Fairly dry in the finish, which it really needed to be. Slight toasty accents. Good.

12oz bottle labeled BB 10/06/08. Poured a deeper golden color with a smaller sized white head. Aromas of doughy bread, cereal, grass, and some honey. Tastes of biscuit, honey, light grass, grains, and caramel. Alcohol content well hidden. This one pleasantly surprised me...
