Bottle. Clear, brown body, with a beige head. A bit weak aroma maybe, quite roasted, and with a little sour note. Still, I like it. The same roasted and sour is in the flavor as well, but the flavor is more on the sweet side, finishing sweet, roasted and malty, with some sour notes here as well. Medium body. Not my favorite from Virklund, but still nice. Rating: 6-4-6-4-13-3.3. 070928

Bottle. An unclear, dark, dark brown beer topped by a finger-thick beige head. Some unpleasant yeasty notes in the aroma, slightly fruity too, with caramel tending towards cola and last but not least a roasted, dark bread crusty smell. That was so strong and obvious even the fourteen year old daughter of my friend serving the beer commented on it. Rather roasted flavor too, with chocolate and dried fruits underneath. Medium to full body, yet feeling a bit thin. Nice carbonation. Roasted and bitter finish. Although a bit yeasty, sure a drinkable beer I’m not scared away from having again. 110801

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Myrup. Very cloudy brownish with an orange hue and a small, beige head. Fat aroma of hard roasted malt. Medium body, hard roasted - lightly burned - malt accents with a light, underlying sourish touch. Burned, bitter finish. 310807

As anticipated, there is too much carbonation and the foam keeps coming out of the bottle, while in the glass at the end there is only one fourth of the volume; it pours a dark brown color; the only-head reduces to a thin layer. The aroma is nice, mixing roated malts and smoke. The flavor is more difficult to accept, there is still the nice smoke touch, but the roasted malt is too dry and strong, and the final bitterness is too high. Harsh.

Nice aroma, cappuccino, creamy, with hidden hops. Medium body, good mix of caramel and dark chocolate flavor, even if here again the yeast makes it a bit dry. Strong bitterness. Quite good.

Cloudy dark brown color. The aroma is clearly yeasty. The body strength is medium, the flavor is based on the roasted malt, with some unpleasant sourness and too much yeast.

Black with a disappearing off-white head. Fruity aroma with caramel and toffee notes. Fruity flavour with a hint of acidity, and a burned malt aftertaste. Interesting hybrid.

Bottle. Frothy lightbrown fair mostly deminishing head. Brown colour. Heavy malty aroma. Strong notes of dark chocolate. Powerfull bitter flavor with harmonic complex notes of fruit and dark chocolate. Average bitter finish. Oily palate. At last a really good brown ale.
