Bottled. A very hazy dark amber beer with a light brown head. The aroma is very powerful of fruit - especially over ripe fruits, as well as notes of berries. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of over ripe fruit and alcohol.

Bottled, thanks kmweaver! Dark amber, dense head. Grassy, caramelly nose. Medium sweet, soft and seemless. Full bodied with intricate caramelly malt flavours, notes of everything from tropical fruits to perfume and hay, as well as candi sugar and yeast. Powerful, yet complex and elegant. Beautifully balanced.

(Bottle 75 cl) Slightly hazy dark amber golden with a dense and creamy, off-white head leaving laces. Soft and very fruity aroma. Fairly full-bodied with very complex fruit notes of banana and tropical fruit - litchi perhaps? Has a weak whiff of yeast. Sweetish finish without any real bitterness - but it doesn’t come out sticky in any way. Very complex and pleasant. 030407

Chestnut brown. Alcoholic, plummy, peachy, brown sugar aroma. Chocolatey, plummy, fruity flavour with hints of malt and alcohol. Tasted side-by-side with regular Bernaruds Abt 12 this is distinctly fuller, bigger in body and flavour.
