Draft at Mikkeller, Copenhagen. Clear dark red beer. Small pale tan head. Light crisp palate. A little malt cream, mild smoke. Not bad. Slipped down easy enough with grabbing too much of my attention.

On tap at local option. Pours a clear amber orange with a clean white head that dissipates to the edges. Aroma is smokey with a note of bacon and cured meats. Flavor starts with a bread note but is quickly taken over Nya light smoked meat note.

Draft at Churchkey. Poured a dark yellow color with a small white head. Aroma was citrus (blood orange) with notes of wheat. Flavor was lemon, orange, fruit, grain. Enjoyable, but I didn’t dig the blood orange as much as I thought I would.

Tap. Wood, orange, and bourbon aroma. Golden yellow color with small head. Sweet orange up front followed by strong bourbon and light malt flavor. Not bad but the bourbon dominates this beer.
