Bottle 75 cl. Pours an almost clear amber with a white head. Aroma is dominated by honey and BOOZE - tons of booze. Not overly heavy in body, again honeyish, some vanilla and a slight tartness. But again, this is really all about the booze and nothing much more. Not overly refined. 291013

Bottle sampled at RBSG. From notes. Boozy vanilla and a good dose of citrus to finish it off. I need a bottle of this for myself.

Tap at Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2013 - Day 2, Session 2. Pours clear, bright gold with a fine, white foam head. Sweet and very boozy with a quite basic pale malt character. Full bodied with average carbonation. Very hot on the finish, super boozy, sweet. Not impressive.

On tap @ Copenhagen Beer Celebration 2013. A dark golden clear one, a little bit of sidesticking off-white head that's sticking to the sides. It's quite strong and somewhat alcoholic sweet on the nose , lots of ripe fruits, some paint and traces of something oily acidic. Really sticky and thick on the mouthfeel and soft prickling on the carbonation. Big flavors. Lots of sweetness, fruits, glazed dried sweet fruits that is, apricots, papaya and honey melon. Really stingy warm and slightly boozy finish. That sticks around for a while as well. 04.05.2013

Draught, 15%. Vanilla aroma. Hazy amber colour. White head. Vanilla flavour, turns fruity. Late citric note with a lot of warming alcohol. Not boozy, but of course strong. Tastes all right, but why so much alcohol?
