Dark burgundy red-foxy colour; virtually no head. American hops nose, rich, dry hopsacks, grapey, green sultana’s, and fleetingly, some Thai herb. Rich, faint sweetness, malts, but watered down texture, very markedly. Bit of chocolate, tobacco (retronasal), and of course again a good dose of US hops. Grapey, not vinous, also bit of cardboard; warming up some sweat. MF is the Achilles heel of this beer. The thinness (for a 7% ABV beer!) is so marked it is embarrassing. Aftertaste has slightly burning component. Nowhere bad. It is interesting as it has some characteristics of a session beer, and some of a Big’un. Thanks for the switch, Jeppe.

(Bottle 33 cl) Beautiful, clear light brown beer - completely missing the head. The beer is close to flat. Marked - almost fat - hoppy aroma (Cascade). Loads of roasted malt and notes of caramel. Hops add lots of flavour too but don’t leave any excessive bitterness on the palate. Quite neat, but they really have to do something about their CO2 level. 031005

An uncleaf dark amber beer with a nice beige head. The aroma is sweet with notes of caramel as well as hints of hops. The flavor is also sweet with nice powerful notes of aroma hops, as well as caramel. The end is dry and hoppy. Highly drinkable - a more complex and maybe powerful aroma would suit me better.
