This top-fermented dark beer is brewed with roasted malts. The secondary fermentation in the bottle gives it its powerful and pleasant character. Reddish-brown with a creamy and persistent head.The nose is quite complex, powerful and full-bodied with earthy notes of old wood. First aromas are powerful (alcohol), spicy (wood) yet always well balanced, leading up to a pleasantly caramelised finish. The round mouthfeel and roasted malty flavour reinforce the aromas of coffee and toffee (molasses and caramelised butter). Its dark colour and warm strength make Waterloo Double Dark a delicious beer!

Brunröd vätska med tunn skumslöja. Aromer av torkad frukt, sirapslimpa och lite hö. Markerad maltighet med sötma från muskovadosocker, örtig, blommig beske med lätt träighet. Värmande, eldande, fyllig munkänsla.

I don't consume sugar regularly ,like every normal and decent person should , and I find these kind of sugary beers boring. Taste is brown sugar, caramel, roasted malts. Without all the sugar perhaps the beer would be better ( for me )

[as Waterloo Double Dark]. Bottiglia. Al naso l'aroma rimanda all'orzo tostato. L'intensità olfattiva è normale e l'esistenza olfattiva è sufficiente. Il mantello birroso superiore ha una buona tenuta. La grandezza delle bollicine è a grana fine. Il liquido offre una visione offuscata. Il colore è marrone scuro. Il corpo è pieno. L'amaro è poco incisivo. La forza gustativa è elevata e si prolunga in modo sufficiente. Il gusto è piacevole. Le sensazioni boccali finali risultano di birra beverina. Il retrogusto è di decente intensità. Al gusto vengono donati toni di caramello, miele, frutta secca, biscotto, pane tostato, agrumi, pompelmo, arancia, mandarino, banana, frutta appassita e rabarbaro.

Bottle 0,33ltr: A charging British cavalry unit on the beer label, but this darkbrown ale is not so charging at all. Decent bitter taste and hints of caramel.
