unclear amber orange with a white head & good lacings. Sweet, hoppy, piney, flowery, malty, caramel, fruity, sugary, smooth, filling, warming, long end.... Great!

37.5 cL bottle, THANKS TO MYRUP despite the fact that the brewers twinbrother said we should wait sometime before rating it - Myrup insisted that we should go ahead ;-)

Pours amber/brown with a lasting slight off-white head. Quite fruity hoppy aroma with a solid maltbase beneath. Strong caramel maltiness with a strong hoppy note. Has a distinct sweetness to it. Ends warming and slight burning mix of cane sugar, strong hops flavour and alcohol. Although the alcohol is fairly well hidden for an abv of 12%. This brew has all the elements to become extremely wellbalanced and smooth in a couple of years time.

Once again: THANKS TO MYRUP.

Now off to Ølbutikken to grab all the bottles I can for my beercellar...
