Clear filtered brown amber beer with small lacing head. All sorts of berries in the aroma, really nice. liquorice too. Grainy crystal malt flavours and some hoppy spicyness. well balanced.

Sweet with the usual hops and a hint of malt. Slightly cloudy amber with a large off white head. Had a sweet taste with a bitter after taste could taste hops and yeast was slightly fizzy in the mouth.

TFODRBSG08 Courtesy of Fonefan. It’s warm golden with an Ok head. The aroma has notes of fruit and malt. The flavour has a light sweetness and notes of malt, fruit, candy sugar/caramel and it’s uncomplicated and in good balance.

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...
