 altonbrownd (1862), Amsterdam, Netherlands
Nov 7, 2009 Bottle at Tom Cribb, Mayfair. Copper body with medium head. Caramel and soapy nose. Caramel flavour with hops too. Not bad. Bitter in the finish.
pilsnerrogge (1770), Finspång, Sweden
Nov 7, 2009 Bottled:
Clear copper colour, mid-sized lacing head. Aroma is bitter almonds, soap and a little bit of caramel. Flavour has some dusty hops, caramel and a hint of liquorice. After taste is long and (too) alcohol bitter.
ricke (65), Malme, Sweden
Nov 5, 2009 Golden copper color with a medium-sized white head that leaves small lacings.
A light smell of malts, fudge, butterscotch, leafy hops and vegetables. Very faint floral note. Not very pleasant.
The taste is somewhat sweet and malty with notes of butterscotch, earth, leaves, vegetables and some hops. Perhaps a fruity note or two. The finish is mildly bitter with faint notes of hops and sweetish alcohol.
Medium body and medium level of carbonation.
Boring and pointless with a rather bad composition. I can’t get around the strange aromas of leaves and and vegetables.

Oct 25, 2009 Bottle 33 cl (didn´t seem to be bottle conditioned?). Amber colour. Toasted caramel malt, fruit, grass, metallic, a bit floral, english yeast profile, some alcohol. Bitter, dry finish. More bitter, dry and less sweet then the draught version.
Egon (392), Gothenburg, Sweden
Oct 12, 2009 Bottle. Dark, golden with white head. Malt and some grass? A touch of the alcohol. Low bitterness. A bit thin. Not bad but nothing special.
Frovigalning (398), , Sweden
Oct 11, 2009 It poured a clear dark golden liquid with a medium sized white foam that left allot of lacing. It had a smell of grassy hops, hay, malt and something sweet. It tasted the same but also had some sugar. Thick liquid with a smooth mouthfeel. Easy to drink and had very little stingyness. Felt a bit like drinking tea with sugar.

Kalli (474), Falun, Sweden
Oct 6, 2009 Sweet orange on the aroma. Slightly sweet toffee in the mouth but less filling and certainly less hoppy than the description led me to believe. Takes on somewhat of a thin, metallic flavour for the finish.
Not at all bad, though.
