Very dark brown with red highlights; brownish tinted, very whipped cream-like head. Fruity, red grapes, red winemost, dark malts, bit almondy nose. Bitterish as from roasted, dark malts, bit bready taste. Little acidity gives a rather good balance. Fruity character more obvious warming up. CO˛ burn, medium bodied. Aftertaste is sweeter. Middle-of-the road brown, but with a pleasant fruity appeal.

Bottle 33cl @ [ Tasting in Ulfborg ].
Clear medium to dark red amber color with a huge, frothy, good lacing, mostly lasting, off-white head. Aroma is moderate malty, roasted, caramel, dark fruit, brown sugar, metalic - like silver plates, solvent notes. Flavor is moderate to light heavy sweet with a average to long duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. (110708)

Bottle from kris wines. Aroma is rich dark candy sugar, vinous, slightly tart, really fruity, really rich stuff. Taste is a similar bag of cheese, quite complex but still very drinkable. A suprisingly good beer.

Courtesy of Fonefan. It’s dark, red mahogany and the head is huge and creamy. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, spice and a little licorice. The flavour has a light sweetness, notes of roasted malt, light licorice, spice and alcohol. It’s a bit edgy and out of balance.
