Bottle. Almost black with a cm of dense beige head. Aroma of chocolate, chestnuts, hazelnuts, earth. So it tastes, although the flavours sit together more smoothly than they do in the aroma. Not bad at all.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy combined with light notes of hops and fruit. The flavor is very sweet with notes of fruit and spices as well as a light touch of alcohol. Thanks Papsoe for hauling this home from NZ.

From bottle, 8B Papsoes New Zealand vs US blind tasting. Pours almost clear deep amber with a lacing tan head. Spiced and slight soapy aroma - not pleasant. Flavour is sweet, mild yeasty, spiced and with a mild caramel malt following. Goes into a light yeasty and malty finish.

(Bottle 33 cl) Pours a clear, warm, dark brown with an orange hue and a creamy, beige head. Aroma of vanilla, roasted malts and nuts. Quite solid in the body with plenty of roasted malts, nuts and fruity accents. The finish is dry yet with a subdued bitterness. A beer that slowly opens and reveals itself in the most pleasant way. 130208
