Tap @ Fermentoren, Aarhus. Hazy brown with a big light brown head. Aroma is sweet, malty, caramel, dried fruit, dark fruit, light glue, wood and bourbon. Flavor is very sweet and rather bitter. Sweet and rather bitter finish with warming alcohol. The glue/acetone note takes a lot away from this beer. 021216

Tap (Szynkarnia, Wroclaw). Miedziany kolor, bezowa piana, krotka. Aromat owocowy, alkoholowy, jak sliwowica, intensywny ale zbyt alkoholowy. Owocowe w smaku, intensywne z minimalnym alkoholem ale ogolnie dosc dobrze ukrytym z owocowo-slodkawym, subtelnym kwaskiem w posmaku. Lekko oleiste w konsysyencji, pijalne, wyraznie rozgrzewajace, calkiem przyjemne ale jakiegos wielkiego szalu nie robi.

Keg at Craft 100 - Craft Beer Co. Clapham, London. Pours hazy reddish brown with a creamy, light tan head. The nose holds a bit of varnish, light caramel, dried fruits, bread. Moderately sweet, boozy, with more notes of varnish, toasty malts, caramel, light vanilla. Full bodied, chewy, with fine carbonation. Warming on the finish with kicks of paint, alcohol, woody dryness. A bit messy.

Keg at Craft 100, 24/03/16. Murky chestnut brown topped with a decent beige swirl. Nose is harsh booze, glue, caramel, spice, nutty strokes. Taste is better, fruit cake, toffee, sweet malts, light spice, boozey notes. Medium + body, fine carbonation, warming booze in the close. No great ... nose is not good and overall a little harsh and raw.

Craft 100 at Craft Clapham. Keg. Hazy amber beer, small pale cream colour head. Palate is light, semi dry and has decent fine carbonation. Rich toffee caramel malts. Fair bit of offputting emulsion paint. A little marmalade and floral bitterness before the paint comes back. Someone took a good barleywine and spilt some paint in it. Weird!

Keg at Craft 100. It pours murky dark brown with a small white head. The aroma is earthy, quite phenolic, plastic, paint stripper, permanent marker pen, toffee and candied fruits. The taste is smooth initially, bitter, woody, leather, chewy malt, big alcohol warmth, permanent marker pen, spice and dried fruits. Full body and fine carbonation. I found this very rough around edges and did not like that permanent marker pen vibe. Not for me.
