Draught@Ölbaren, Copenhagen (2006 rating found in old notebooks, not entered on RB). Pale coppery brown colour with a mediumsized off-white head. Aroma is sweet malts, some fruits, alcohol, toffee, mild wooden tones with some figs and dates. Flavour is dates, alcohol, some figs, wooden and mild dried fruity with toffee too. A bit on the boozy side of things.

Keg@CBC2013 Hazy brown color, small off-white head. Sweet, toffeish, diacetylic(?) nose. Medium-bodied. Flavor is also sweet: it has alcohol, some hops and toffeish notes known as diacetyl. Not among the best from Mikkeller.

CBC. Hazy amber beer, little pale tan head. Palate is minerally crisp. Sweet malts with bubblegum esters. Light aniseed alcohol. Dry spicy finish. Big flavours but overall a bit clunky!
