Barwa ciemno brazowa, piana bezowa, srednia. Aromat kawowo-cytrusowo-karmelowy, bardzo przyjemny. Pierwszy lyk i uderzenie goryczki ale fantastycznie zbalansowanej z ciemnymi slodami. W smaku chmiel, kawa. Jak na ABV 6,5 bardzo lekkie jakby troche malo ciala. Niskie wysycenie, zero przebijajacego alkoholu a co za tym idzie bardzo dobra pijalnosc. Polecam.

Bottle, 7.8%. Good grassy and piney hop aroma. Clear dark amber colour. Big stable creamy off-white head. The flavour is sweetish and quite hoppy, but not that bitter, actually. Does not taste very strong, so could have done with less alcohol, but not bad.

Bottle @ Vinterslaget på Østersøen, Sønderborg. Pours slighty hazy amber with airy but stable off-white head. Clear aroma of hops, with some notes of citrus and malt. Sweetish flavour of caramel malt, complemented by bitter notes of hops and touches of citrus. Bitter aftertaste. Decent.

Bottle @ Vinterslaget på Østersøen, Sønderborg. Pours slightly hazy amber with airy off-white head. Muddled, sourish and sweetish aroma of grain, yeast and malt. Sweetish flavour of malt and fruit, with bitter, hoppy notes. Bitetr and estery aftertaste. Unbalanced and weird. A misfired attampt at producing something decent.
