0.5l bottle @ Henrik, Bergen. Deep almost murky-brown body with a big bubbly medium-sized beige head. Lovely aroma! Did not expect that aroma at all. It's dark fruity, lovely sweet, lots of caramel, malts and chocolate. Soft - almost flat carbonation levels with a somewhat thin and slick mouthfeel. Malty flavors in this one, it's a light burned tone here, some dark fruits and good amounts of caramel. It's really well balanced and quite tasty, but the texture annoys a bit. Still, a nice little surprise from The St.Peters

This ale poured a nice darker red colour with a soapy head that didn’t last vewry long at all. To the nose there are scents of hops, ripe fruit, grapefruit citrus, dough and plastic? First sip was very hoppy with flavours of light caramel and malt. Slightly watery mouthfeel. One of the better St Peters i’ve had.

Clear rust brown to red ale, small beige head, unstable. Aroma: roasted malts, caramel, weird off-flavour, mocha. MF: ok carbon, light to medium body. Taste: caramel, mocha, fruity, honey touch, little bitter hoppy. Aftertaste: mocha and caramel, orange peel, little bit medicinal.

0.5 l bottle courtesy of Marko, thanks! A dark bitter, cool. It poured darker red body with small head. Fine spicy yeasty and herbal aroma, touch of caramel and licorice. Flavor is herbal hop bitter, with a spicy note, balanced with coffee and caramel malt. Fine and medium in body. finish was coffee, caramel and some herbal hops. Pretty good and quite interesting for sure.

Bottle, Kuca Piva, Zagreb. Small off white head vanishing from a nice, yeah, ruby red body. Nice light sharpish aroma hop lemony nose, better than expected. Hmm, the hops go on into the taste, but get weak, kinda diluted, but still the driving force of the beer. Slightly soapy, sharp bitter finish surrounded by some coffee - the only really malty note apart from a sweetish softness backing the hop. Not bad at all!

Bottle at Cafe buitenlust, Oirschot. Very nice glass they made for this beer. Beer itself has a pretty nice dark amber color. Smell and taste are above average but nothing really stands out. Not much to remember. Not a bad beer but certainly nothing special.
