The Dark Roasted malt provides a rich dark colouring along with a unique smoky taste and aroma.

Drought at Mumbai. Quite surprizing beer for india. High carbonation and intensive caramel / chocolate flavour. Alcool is very less present. A really decent beer.

0.33 l bottle, thanks Juha! Dark reddish brown with fading head. Sweetish bready aroma with dark ripe fruits, licorice and hints of alcohol. Sweet flavor with dark bread, licorice, cola and raisins. Low bitterness and low roastedness. Needs far more roast and hops, now this is more like a rum cola.

Courtesy of Madsberg, thank you a lot for bringing this to Denmark for me! The color is nice, dark brown with a red hue and the head is creamy. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, raisin and licorice. The flavour has sweetness and notes of raisin, roasted malt, caramel and light, sweet licorice and it ends on a dry note. The overall impression is thin/watery, but otherwise descent.
