Clear golden color, short head. Aroma of pilsener malt, some hop, grain. Clear refreshing bitter taste, bit malty and grainy. Hardly any alcohol present, surprisingly light for such a strong beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Very beautiful, deep, golden colour - but the head is missing. Extremely malty with an almost biting alcohol. Pronounced bitterness on a bed of sugar. But mainly this is just strong without much refinement. 140600

Golden color. Sweet malt aroma, reminding a Barley Wine (but lighter), with fruity notes (yellow peach, mango, banana…). The taste is a mix between the barley wine and the strong lager, with some maltiness but surprisingly quite dry, and not able to hide the alcohol; also a bit harsh/metallic. The final, not aromatic, at least is bold.

The aroma is very malty sweet with notes of straws and alcohol. The color is orange and in a snifter it has a beutiful head - I don't rember it like that from drinking it from plain glasses. The flavor is rather simple but the palate is great. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of yeast, caramel, hints of sirup, before the alcohol makes its presence known, first as a tickling across the tongue but in the end as a plain alcohol flavor that lingers. I really gives You the warmth on a snowy night in Denmark. For me the alcohol is too present which draws my grade down - I rather like the dark version since the alcohol is better hidden.
