Cola brun klar øl uden skum. Duft: Meget viniøs, let karamel og let gær. Egetræ. Metalisk. Smag: Kraftig, stærk, varm, meget sød. Samg af malt og mørke bær. Sirup agtig. Tør varm eftersmag. Meget alcohol - flad.

Very sweet as Kastel beers are but a bit too sweet for my palate. Decent job of covering the alcohol

A nice sweet aroma. A crazy flavor too, almost so sweet that it covers all the alcohol. If you can get past the sweetness this is quite enjoyable.

(Bottle, Akkurat, Stockholm, 17 Nov 2007) Dark brown colour with ruby hints, brief beige head. Malty nose with dark bread, brown sugar and hints of berries (blueberries or black-currant). Malty taste with notes of dark danish rye bread, chocolate, black-currant and marzipan. Full body. Fairly sweet and with an obvious alcohol bite, but still in good balance. Nice, hearty and warming.

Redish brown body with very little head. Smooth with flavors and acidity reminiscent of red wine like cherrie, but still has tons of malt flavor.

Re-rate 3/4/09: Bottle. Sweet, alcoholic, plenty or dark fruits and caramel. 7/3/7/4/14=3.5

Bottle sample as "Kasteel Brune" at a beer festival in Kibbutz Ma’abarot. Deep red color. Nose of malt, dark fruits, some yeast and notes of alcohol. Sweet malt flavor with dark fruits and a spicy finish. Medium to full-bodied. Mouthfeel is a bit syrupy. Nice. 7/4/7/4/15=3.7

Had at Logan’s Oceanside beer tasting with AlohaC, and Hair, and Matt, and Ken, and Bill, and others. Dark amber color. Sweet, caramelized melanoidin characteristics. Very sweet.

Yuk. Way too sweet for me. Nice malt and toffee aroma, but the taste made me gag.
