Bottled. Hazy deep amber colour with a creamy, off-white head which leaves some lace. Nutty, wooden, some sweet toffeeish malts in the aroma. Flavour is quite similar, but also has a slight herbal and grassy touch to it. A bit metallic notes as well as it gets warmer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Deep, hazy amber with a creamy, off-white head and some sediment in the bottle. Very dry and aromatic with a typical nutty ale-aroma and a touch of sweetness behind the pronounced hoppiness. A touch of iron? Very pretty label. 271203

Best before 10/03. So it’s probably a 02 or 01 bottle. Sweet. Pours a lovely dark golden-amber with a good white creamy head. Aroma of deep caramel/toffee and good clean light hops. Buttercream, lots of creamy milk-chocolate. What is this stuff? Flavor is super creamy, lots of thick caramel-cream flavor. Chocolatey and toffeeish to the max. Not seein any harsh or metallic notes, but it is unbalanced. Whatever, reminds me of the Federation Brown.

Nice looking label. Amber color, lace. Medium creamy white head. Aroma is hops with some caramel. Taste is sweet toffee with some late bitterness. A bit like Porin Juhlaolut.

Hazy orange-amber color. Sweet aroma, caramel and malt. The front is quite light, then some more caramel, malt and bitterness arise, with a fruity touch. The finish is well bitter but short. A quite good but simple Bitter.
