Bottle. It pours a clear, amber body and a finger-thick off-white head. Malty nose with toffee and bread. Pleasant spiced hoppyness with licorice and resins. The flavor follows the same path, with malty flavors dominating, at least at first, giving bread and toffee. Then there’s also a fruity, resiny hoppyness with a touch of black currant and licorice. Not much bitterness, but sufficient to cope with the malts. Full-bodied and quite dry. Lasting malty finish with some licorice and hints of blackcurrant. A quite decent bitter, balancing on the edge between toffee and butterscotch. 110624

Bottle: Clear, chestnut-amber coloured, small (off-)white head; moderate fruity-toasty nose, some hops crawling around; moderate dryish bitter-sweet flavour, light bodied; lingering toasty-fruity finish with a delicate hoppy aftertaste. Not earth-shaking.....

500 ml clear bottle, from Voldby Købmandsgård, Denmark. ABV is 4.2%. Beautiful copper colour, big off-white head. Very nice aroma of toffee and caramel. Fairly refeshing flavour, strong notes of caramel with a hint of fruit, but not too sweet. Moderate but sufficient hops in the finish. Okay.
