Draught at Lord Nelson
Cloudy amber color. Nice aroma of fruity and English hops. Powerful malty body, with a very good hopping. Very much American style, very much extreme, very much good.

Draught at Lord Nelson, Copenhagen.
An unclear maghony beer with a creamy tan head. Sweet malt and toffee aroma with obvious notes of cookie and bread - American barley wine style. Sweet in the flavor as well - toffee, cake and spices with an earthly forrest berry note, probably from the hops. Heavy bitterness in the end with some alcoholic notes that leaves my tongue sore. Extreme all right, very barley wineish. Not an IPA for beginners and they waitress also did warn me about it when I ordered it!! Definately interesting!

On draught at Plan B, Copenhagen. Cloudy brown with a small, but persistent creamy khaki head. Cascade fills the air. Powerful citrus hoppinesss, in your face almost,but with a solid enough malty base to support it. Full-bodied. Reminds me of California and the great beers from Russian River..

(On tap) Muddy, dark amber with a creamy, beige head. Distinct, fat aroma hoppiness. Very solid body with lots of malt and a brutal, bitter finish. Way too brutal... Harmony and balance gentlemen please. 281006
