Bottle. (#819) A copper colored, slightly hazy beer with a small, beige head. Burnt, coffee-grit aroma with a fruityness, some caramel and a tiny note of chocolate. Nice fruity bitterness in the flavor, and also slightly burnt maltyness. Touch of sourness too. Long bitter finish. An almost astringent, burnt and dry thin mouthfeel. Didn’t suspect the burnt aromas and flavors, but they didn’t hurt at all. What I didn’t like, was the little sourness in the beer. A quite decent beer. (080708)

Bottle. (#820) It pours an unclear, yellow-orange body and a nice white head. The carbonation is so intense, it causes the yeast to circulate vertically. Fascinating. The aroma is too artificial, with banana and bubblegum being the most evident. Fruits, a touch of cloves and some tiny sour notes too. Too sour in the mouth, in a grainy way, with artificial banana, some citrus and yeast, and a little flavor of cloves. Medium full body, highly effervescent. Not a bad beer, but fails to pin the style I think. (080708)

Biggish beige head does not last. Opaque black body goes barely translucent brown-red at edges. Thin, rather vague roasty faintly smoky and acidic aroma. Dry lightly acidic and burnt smoky taste. Quite watery and thin-bodied. Watery-acidic roasty chocolatey aftertaste. Boring and too thin. (0.5l bottle from yngwie.)

Smallish beige coarseish head. Hazy amber body. Roasty wooden watery aroma with unclean grainy notes. Dry faintly acidic roasty grainy taste with some background sweetness. Fruity bubblegum notes. Dry, a bit astringent, roasty grainy aftertaste lasts for a long time. Half-decent. (0.5l bottle from yngwie. Batch #818.)

Huge white fine-laced lasting head. Opaque paleish yellow body. Thin watery estery aroma with bananaish notes. Dry chemical grainy banana bubblegum taste with chalky notes. Fizzy. Carbonates in the mouth. Thin mouthfeel. Dry artificial aftertaste lingers. Didn’t like this much, which surprised me. (0.5l bottle from yngwie. Batch #820.)

Biggish offwhite head. Hazy brown body. Fruity pea aroma with grassy earthy herbal notes. Dryish grassy pea and roasty malts taste. Sharpish. Bitter thin grassy aftertaste. Some soapy peppery acidity. Decent, but needs work. Light infection? (0.5l bottle from KnutAlbert.)

Small white head. Hazy yellow body with vigourous carbonation. Fruity citric aroma with chalky rubbery notes and some peppery hops. Dry peas and citrus taste with chalky rubbery fruity notes. Sharpish, edgy. Maybe a bit harsh. Nice. (0.5l bottle from KnutAlbert.)
