Bottled. Brown colour, small head. Aroma is sweet malts, some slight rubbery notes. Mild metal as well. Flavour is quite much the same. Rather sweet and not too balanced.

275ml bottle. Black with a small, short-lived tan head. Sweet raisin aroma with a hint of creaminess and roasted malt. Light mouth feel with plenty of caramel, milk chocolate and prunes. The finish was soft and creamy. Plenty going on for such a weak beer.

275ml bottle (thanks to Wivi-Ann and Andrew). Pitch black body with a rusty tint to it. Thin brownish, lacing-head. Oversweet malts in aroma and flavour. Almost like sugar candy. Thin and watered (15.03.2008).

275ml bottle from Cask & Glass, Tonbridge. Black with brown touches, beige head. Lots of toffee/caramel on aroma. Some sourness in mouth with more toffee on the end. Some camp coffee. Yeah its a bit of fun, but isn’t that great

Black color, brown head, disappearing quickly. Sweet aroma. Some sweetness, some caramel taste, ordinary bitterness.
In this category of light beers, I prefer the Danish Skibsol…

The aroma is sweet caramel though somewhat light. The color is black and it has a small brown head. The flavor is of sweet caramel, but it is thin in body. All in all a boring weak beer.
