330ml bottle. Very nice clear reddish dark amber colour with average to huge, frothy, fairly lasting, moderately lacing, off-white head. Grainy and minimally fruit aroma has notes of red berries. Taste is initially grainy with fruity hints of red berries, later intense grainy and husky with a dry husky finish; subtle sweetness throughout, that sometimes comes close to milk chocolate.

33 cl. bottle courtesy of / split with Kraddel. Thx! Pours a very dark brownish amber with a creamy thick, light brown head. Light oxidation in the nose, spices, herbs, bitter darkish malts & some soft fruits. Taste is bitter caramel, toffee, brown sugar, floral bitterness, bitter herbs, burned sugar, soft fruits, earthly, sticky, foresty. Sticky body. Not really my thing, not as off-turning as the recent ratings on here would suggest.

Flaske fra La Cerveteca, delt hos Ole Anders des-12: MEGET højt skum. Gylden farge og deilig, syrlig humlearoma. Smaken skuffer imidlertid selv med antydning til karamell. IBU 40. Grei nok, men heller ikke mer.

330ml bottle shared by Rune at Rating Session 25.Oct.2012 Gushing amber coloured brew which gives a huge foamy head and leaves beautiful lacing in the glass . Muddy. The aroma reminds me of a sawmill: spruce, resin, pine and wood. Tastes of yeast, earth, damp basement and perhaps some smoke. Not really bitter, more moist and earthy. Label with attitude. I like that!

On tap @ Beer Temple. Dark copper color. Off white, sticky head. Aroma’s: sweet fruits, grainy/malty, some caramel. Flavor is medium sweet with some earthy bitterness. Body is medium, prickly carbonation. Finishes roasted and bitter, rather dry. Not very well balanced, but very tasty.
