50cl bottle. Poured red/dark amber color with a fluffy head. Caramel sweet malty aroma. Flavor is sweet caramel malty mostly, found it better than I had expected it to be, thought it would be much sweeter than it actually was. Not something I will buy again though.

Medium, amberish tinted head over foxy-amber, clear beer, well-carbonated. Caramel, almonds, marzipan, childrens’ sweets, artificial aromas. Roasted flavour, with a short dry bitterish main taste, a somewhat sticky, marzipan-like suite, but with a harsh metallic end. Slight stickiness, watery feel. Dry aftertaste. The coloursyruppot, and that’s it.

(bottle) Clear, chestnut-brown colour with a beige medium-sized frothy head. Sweet toasty malty aroma with notes of caramel, a nutty touch and faint herbal hops in the background. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium bodied with a moderate carbonation. Toast-malty caramelly and slightly nutty taste with herbal accents towards the mildly bitter-sweet and toasty finish. Quaffable and rounded Dunkel. 12.I.11

Reasonable, pleasant DUNKEL.......

500ml bottle provided by Stefan and Elisabeth for a CCCP drinking session in Tromsø. Clear, red-amber body, low, but lasting, beige head. Roasted malts in aroma with hints of dark fruits. Dark fruits and berries in flavour on sweet malty backbone, notes of liquorice. Soft carbonated. Fine drinkability, a bit sweet, though (Tårnrommet, Breiviklia 17.08.2010).

500ml bottle, 5.8% ABV, by courtesy of Finn. Deep amber body. Off-white head, short-lived. Bready and earthy malts to the nose. Dark caramel malts in flavour, slightly roasted and with hints of herbal bitterness towards the ending. Soft carbonated. Clean tasting. Just alright (shared with Eva, Tromsø 18.04.2010).

Sampled from a 500 ml brown bottle this beer poured a hazy caramel-amber color with an enormous creamy orange-white head that lingered and produced great lacing. The aroma was sweetish, tangy and malty with faint fruit and caramel. The flavor was tangy, sweet and malty with notes of cherry, berry, caramel and bread. The finish was long, tangy, vaguely fruity and and sweet. Fairly full body. Decent.

bottle, bought at ebay.Clear amber-brown colour, large off-white head that looks deliciously creamy, with some bubbles on top. Shy aroma of caramel. Medium-bodied, malty with flavours of caramel, slightly hoppy. More hoppy in thze lingering finish where hops and caramel blend in a very pleasant way. Good!
