(Bottle 50 cl) Very deep amber/bronze colour, limited slightly off-white head. Very malty with an extreme caramel-/toffee-like flavour - but very dry also, not much sweetness. The hops balances out any attempt to sweetness . Quite an exciting beer. 150105

Bottled: Dark golden coloured. Fantastic medium sized beige head. Lasting. Caramel and malt in the aroma. Hops, light cocoa and sweetness in the flavour. Light bitter in the end.

Amber coloured. Malty aroma. The flavour is sweet and malty. Rather thin and boring.

A dark amber beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty on a sour backgroun - and so is the flavor.

Amber color. Simple malty aroma. Malt and caramel character, quite sweet, roasted malt at the end, but overall not very interesting.

Bottled. Nut brown. Sweet and caramelly, very malty. Pleasant rich soft mouthfeel, fairly woody, balanced salty, bitter finish.

Tall foamy off-white head on an amber orange body. Quite full aroma, sweet malt, toffee and caramel. Hoppy, malty and fruity flavor with a slight citrusy finish. OK, but quite boring.

Dark amber with medium sized head. Nice lace. Malty, toffee, walnut, dried fruits, long little bitter-dry finish. Nice.
