Botella. Bit unclear amber colour. Caramel malty and mildly fruity aroma. Soft mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with caramel along with toasty malt and some alcohol.

Bottle at Ulfborg RB Tasting. Thanks fonefan. Amber colour with a small fine head. Pleasant aroma of fruits and caramel. Flavour is fruity with a good malt base leading to a somewhat alcohol rich aftertaste.

Bottle @ TFODRBSG, Ulfborg, 2008.
[thank you, fonefan/Brugsmansia]
Pours amber with a small film head. Aroma is fruity, some raisins and caramel maltiness. A bit vinious. A tad flat, fat mouthfeel. Flavour is mostly caramel, some slight honey tones. Very one-sided...

50cl bottle: Pours clear amber with a small creamy head. Sweet malty nose. Slightly roasted. Medium bodied. Notes of honey. A bit too sweet. Allright!

Bottle, 6.5%. Fruity aroma. Clear amber colour, unstable head. Quite malty flavour, but also quite grainy. The grain gives it a distinct sourness which is only partly hidden by the sweetness.
