Draught at the biergarten in Grant's Farm. Copper and clear. Solid malt and not too much off flavor here. Solid for a free beer.

12 ounce bottle into lager glass, bottled on 8/21/2017. Pours crystal clear reddish copper/brown color with a 1 finger fairly dense off white head with good retention, that reduces to a thin cap that lingers. Light spotty soapy lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with light notes of nuttiness, roast, pepper, and herbal/grassy/toasted earthiness. Nice and pleasant aromas with dark/bready/roasted malts and mild earthy hop notes; with solid strength. Touch of yeast fruitiness in the aromas, but not overwhelming. Taste of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, and toasted biscuit; with light notes of nuttiness, roast, pepper, and herbal/grassy/toasted earthiness. Very mild herbal/grassy hop and roast bitterness on the finish. Lingering notes of caramel, brown sugar, brown bread, toasted biscuit, nuttiness, roast, and herbal/grassy/toasted earthiness on the finish for a good big. Nice complexity and robustness of dark/bready/roasted malts and mild earthy hop flavors; with a good malt/bitterness balance, and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Nicely clean on lager flavors, with minimal fruity/yeasty notes present. Slightly increasing dryness from lingering hop/roast bitterness. Medium carbonation and light-medium body; with a very smooth, moderately bready/grainy, and slightly sticky/chalky mouthfeel that is good. A bit thin, but not watery. Zero warming alcohol as expected of 5.2%. Overall this is a good bock. All around good complexity and robustness of dark/bready/roasted malts and mild earthy hop flavors; very smooth, clean, and easy to drink with the very mildly bitter finish. Nicely flavorful with clean malts and just enough hop presence to balance sweetness. A nicely enjoyable offering, and good style example.

Hazy, dirty dark brown beer with very small head. Aroma has bread and cyrup with sweet malts. Both appearance and aroma are very far from traditional trappist beers. Taste has cyrup, sweet malts, bread and dark fruits. Alcohol warms even if doesn't taste. Medium body, low carbonation. Weird, a combination of German doppelbock, British ale and Finnish "kotikalja/sahti".

Thanks Ivan! Dark amber body with a clear off white head. Well, it was time for me to try this, well, erm, classic? Intensive fruity, malty, caramelly aroma. Strange really, almost making one think of yeast going wild with esters. Sweet, flat taste, bubblegum and caramel, banana, candyish. Tastes like banana candy really in a way. Yeah, very much revolutionary compared to, say, Bud, but still far from a great beer.

From old tasting notes. Deep Amber orange color. Fluffy white head. Light sweet grainy malt nose. Soft, sweet malt flavor. Light bodied. Bittersweet hop finish hints at licorice.

Received in trade from gregwilsonstl, Thanks? Crystal clear deep copper color. Big caramel with hints of fig and burnt sugar. Not horrible, a bit of a joke that this got sent out, but really not half bad if a bit too malty.

330ml bottle bought quite a while ago at Barley Wine in Copenhagen. Stable fawn-coloured head. Opaque red-brown body colour. Minimal lacing. Mid-sweet aroma of dried fruits. Plums, honey and prunes to the taste buds. Fine bodied, but overly sweet. Flat and rather disappointing (shared with djoeye and Finn, Tromsø 05.08.2014).
