Chelmsford Winter Beer Festival. Loads of beers shared with ChrisO and Harrisoni - Cheers! Dark brown beer, no head. A light touch of dark malt. A trace of fruit. Dry finish. Okay but really standard stuff.

500 ml bottle, from Voldby Kรธbmandsgรฅrd, Denmark. ABV is 5%. Fairly dark brown colour, big beige head. Nice aroma of lightly toasted malts, caramel and dark fruits. The flavour is malty with notes of brown bread and caramel. Some fruity hints too, low bitterness but not completely void of hops. Decent enough.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a huge brown head. The aroma has notes of malt, toffee, and a bit of nuts. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt and caramel as well as lighter notes of nuts and metal, leading to a bitter finish. The body is light.

Dark brown colour. Quite intense dark fruity aroma. Rich, fruity flavour with a good deal of hop bitterness in the finish.
