Bottled, thanks oh6gdx! Clear ruby, faint head. Metalic and fruity, sweet and sugary. Shallow character with slight sloppy caramel. Low bitterness. A pitiful ale with truly industrial flavour.

Bottle: Poured a black brown with a tan color head. Aroma is roasted malts. Taste is a sugary caramel and malt mess. Leaves the mouth tingly at finish.

Dark red-brown colour. Flavour is far from unpleasant but doesn’t seem to have found the right balance. The texture is rather thin and gassy which doesn’t match well with the rich aroma with hints of aniseed and the complex malty then bitter taste.

(Bottle 33 cl) Clear, nutty brown with a dense, off-white head. Sweetish, nutty and caramelish nose. Full-bodied with lots of sweetish, burned caramel and roasted malts. Perhaps there’s a wee whiff of smoke. Some bitterness. Quite all right. 280607

Dark clear brown ale with a thick light moka head. Aroma of caramel malt and light alcohol. In mouth, a light chocolate malt with loads of sweet caramel, light nutty notes, and warming alcohol. Light fruity notes, like figs and prunes develop as beer warms up. Much better than the godawful Blonde. Bieropholie private imports.
