Para celebrar nuestros 5 años como cervecería creamos una cerveza que combina cinco tipos de malta y cinco variedades de lúpulos. Era la primera cerveza chilena en formato de botella de 750cc y la primera cerveza chilena madurada con roble americano tostado, proceso que agrega cremosa una textura y complejidad aromática sorprendente. Kross 5 es de un color cobrizo profundo y entrega notas a avellanas, toffee, vainilla y caramelo con un largo y agradable retrogusto.

Optisch schön dunkel, stabiler Schaum. In der Nase Holz, fast Whisky. Im Trunk unfassbar cremig, Honig, Schokolade, Karamell ganz deutlich. Himmel, ist das lecker. Und dann auch noch aus Chile - chapeau!

Bottle from biershop.com. Pours a cloudy chestnut brown, with small white head. Aroma of prune, coffee, and wheat. Quite sweet, light bitterness. Medium/full body, rich texture. Rather delicious.

Pours brown with a small head.Nose shows heavy American oak with big vanilla and creme brulee notes alongside some equally sweet-smelling golden syrup and brown sugar characters.Similarly sweet flavours. Creme brulee, burnt caramel, woody oak, brown sugar, toasted coconut. Perhaps a bit too sweet.Could use more carbonation to help with the sweetness.

(Bottle, 0.75 l - BBE Jun 2015, from Alko Arkadia, 20140919) The beer poured brown and clear. Its head was medium sized and white. Aroma had chocolate, vanilla, fruitiness and malts. Palate was medium bodied with medium carbonation. Flavours were malts, chocolate, vanilla, fruitiness, spiciness and bitterness. Aftertaste was spicy, malty and bitter. A nice brew but the barrell components were unnecessary addition.

Ins Glas ergießt sich ein leicht trübes dunkelbraunes Bier mit ordentlicher Schaumkrone. Geruch sehr malzig fruchtig, blumig, würzig. Geschmack stark malzig, fruchtig, Gewürze, blumig.

Small cream-white head over copper-chestnut beer, clear. Sourish-chocolate, lactic acid, bit oakey, pickles. Sweet, chocolate, wood, cocoa, but a tad sweet. Wood returning in force at every sip, even with fresh vanilla-oak. Very slick, well-bodied, even syrupy, alleviated by both CO² and other acid. Txs, Tim! Gets an extra point for hailing from Chile, for chrissakes! Too sweet Oud Bruin, with a bit of Doppelbock thrown into.
