Bottle, 75cl. It doesnβt look too good in the glass, with its hazy, brown body. A cute beige head sits on top, saving the day. Lots of piney hops on the nose, with roasted malts, almost burnt. Smooth, full-bodied and slightly warming on the palate, dry. Roasted and very hoppy flavor with pine cones, lemon peel and some coffee. Really lasting finish. Wonderful. 110820

Bottle @ Danish Summer Gathering, Ulfborg 2011. Pours dark brown with a small creamy head and lacings. Vague roast, pine and grape. Really dry and bitter flavor. I wish the hops would be more fruity and flavorfull - nut just bitter. Medium bodied.
