(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of joergen. Pours a clear dark brown with a reddish glow and a tall, dense and lacing beige head. Sweetish hard roasted malt. Medium body with sweet hard roasted malts, some vanilla accents and a discreet malt bitter finish. Decent alright. 310808

My drink no.13 at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen 08. This one was provided by the Danish Beerhouse stand/bar. Mahogany appearance with a tiny, beige head. Caramelised malty aroma. Rich in taste with decent amounts of chocolate, nuts and plums. Bittersweet ending. Quite dry, almost woody, in the mouth (12.09.2008).
