33cl bottle from Dranken Geers. Batch# 2083, BB 30/04/2013. Couleur cuivre, fin beige. Arôme de levure, houblonné profile de vieux grains avec ce citronné typique d’une bitter anglaise avec une pointe fruitée. En bouche, pointe de levure, malt laissant et houblon laissant une brève amertume. Profile reste dans le style avec un malt cara/grains léger étant plus en avant suivi par des notes herbacées et citronnées. Reste bien dans le style anglais avec juste ce petit extra italien. Le tout reste sec et léger.

Bottled. A hazy dark amber beer with a thin yellowish head. The aroma has notes of hops, caramel, and malt. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, hops, and caramel, leading to a bitter finish. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Bottle 33 cl. Courtedy of yespr. Pours a hazy deep amber with a small, rough off-white head. Nutty, slightly caramellish aroma. Medium body, caramel and a little roast with a surprisingly bitter finish. Quite decent. 200612

Medium beige head. Amber body with carbonation made hazy by visible particles. Dusty chocolatey roasty aroma with earthy milky notes. Dry-sweet roasty dusty milky taste with chocolatey honeyish notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish orangey chocolatey aftertaste with dusty roasty notes. Interesting. Not even remotely an ESB, but a nice and different beer. (0.33l bottle, wine monopoly, web order.)

33cl bottle @ home shared with Dutchdrebus. Clear dark ruby red color, small beige lacing on top. Smell malts, grains, slightly hoppy. Taste malts, slightly grains, bitter, hint of caramel, lightly hops. Nice body considering the fairly low ABV, low to medium carbonation.

Bottle thx t benzai. Amber colour with some ruby influences, small off-white head. Smells slightly hoppy.. Not much more, but quite okay. Tastes slightly hoppy, bitter.. Quite balanced and great. Could use a bit more body, but it’s still quite nice.

330ml bottle from Vinmonopolet Vika. Good looking with a clear dark amber body and a firm, off-white head. Spotty lacing. Subdued aroma of caramel malts. Malty mix in flavour with mild dark spices leading to a malt-bitter ending. On the sweet side of bittersweet. Accepted (hotel room, Oslo 24.05.2012).

Bottle from Birratrovo, Como, bb 30.09.12 L 1415
Brown color. First aroma impression is yeast, with some caramel. Caramel chocolate and roasted malt flavor, with too much yeast and too much bitterness in the end.
Unstylish.
