Bottled. A dark brown beer with a lazing tan head. The aroma has notes of roasted malt, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of roasted malt, hops, and bread, leading to a dry and bitter finish.

Bottle @ Papsø. Hazy brownish orange appearance with a cream colored head. Pretty piney, herbal, somewhat spicy hoppy aroma. Somewhat thick resiny, a touch dank, slightly chewy flavor. Pretty tasty.

50cl Bottle from De Bierkoning. Muddy dark brown to black colour, off white head. Aroma of a typical BIPA, loads of liquorice, laurel and C-hops, grapefruit, some hard roasted malts. Flavour is citrus, grapefruit, hard roasted malts, liquorice, firm hoppy grapefruit bitter finish. Light bodied. Not my favourite beer "style", but this is a decent beer.
