330ml can. Pours a hazy red amber with a small, creamy, short lived, beige head that laces nicely. Sweet aroma of toasted bready malt, caramel, nuts, wood and raisin. Sweet flavour of caramel malt, raisin, fig, brown sugar, plum and nuts in a dry, mild bitter finish. Light body with a watery texture and average to soft carbonation. Malt forward and tasty.

440ml can bought from and drunk in Tønne, Leicester. Very light almost orangeish brown,clear with a small loose film of beige head. Big malty aroma, rye bread, caramel, raisins, figs, orange peel. Intense for the ABV. Lovely taste, more fig and raising and bready notes. Sweet all the way down to the long finish. Light to medium body with carbonation on the heavy side. Love these kinds of beers.

330ml can from Beer52. I don't see how it can be a Heavy with such a low ABV but I try not to get het up with such things. Pours a clear reddish amber with decent foam beige head. Aroma of malt, nuts, toffee, sweet brown sugar, light dustiness. Nice flavours with toffee, light roast, caramel, raisins. Good depth for the strength and not too rich. Very nice.

[33cl can from Beer52.] A copper coloured pour with a loose light caramel coloured head; spicy malt aroma; sweet malty taste with a touch of spice; then some toffee to finish. A tasty Heavy.

440ml can: BBE November 2025. Shared with Ant on 22nd September 2024 during a min-tasting-session. Deep amber body, off-white head. It's the lightest 'heavy' alcohol wise I ever had and it's body depth let it down too. Malty for sure but it was too watery for the style I remember from years ago.

Tap at FOB, Rimini, Italy. Pours a beautiful red/brown, with nice shadings. Partially transparent, with medium grained light cream foam. Aroma is weak malty. Very weak. Body is average, with very limited carbonation. Taste is moderately sweet. Final is rather dry.
