Pale brown color, small white head. Mild flowery hoppy nose. Good hoppy flavor with excellent malt backbone. Balanced and enough hoppy IPA.

Cask at GBBF 2005 Weird hop nose on this golden brown beer. I was looking forward to trying these beers but this was a bit too sweet and not my favourite beer.

Creamy white head, brown color, malty nose with some good citrusy hops notes. Starts moderately hppped, but then malts comes in to balances things off nicely with a combination of chocolate and citrus overtones it is interesting. Nice big hoppy succulant finish that makes me pucker. One of the best finishes on an IPA I have ever experienced.

RBSG Thansk to Ungstrup for this one! Large head of off white over a dark brown body. This doesn’t have the intense hoppy aroma of the regular IPA, being more malty in that respect. Moderately sweet with a lighter hops bitterness than the regular IPA as well. This hits my palate as more of a Strong Ale or possibly a Barleywine than an IIPA, but other than style classification issues, this is a good solid strong beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark ruby red colour, clear and pretty indeed. Very small head and almost no carbonation - almost English cask appearance. Huge sediment though. A slight indefinable and not completely pleasant nose - roasted somehow. Very malty flavours, roasted malt - light sweetish, soft and pleasant mouthfeel. An incredibly flavourful beer for it’s rather small body. 110705

Very dark color, small head. Quite simple malty and roasted malt aroma. Very simple taste, thin, with quite a lot of roasted malt and caramel. Not exceptional…

Clean dark amber color. Very nice aroma, with some malt, roasted malt and hop. The mouthfeel is quite dry, with roasted malt, malt and caramel, plus a touch of rye. Pretty good among the Brown Ales. Ends too dry and somehow minty.

(Bottle 50 cl) Dark, hazy amber with a small off-white head. Lovely malty base with notes of both nuts and caramel. But no real sweetness, on the contrary a dry, dry bitter hoppiness. Rather lovely. An extreme yeast sediment finishes this. 010605

(Bottle 50 cl) Amber golden, slightly hazy with a tiny, creamy head. Really lives up to it’s name, this is very bitter. But a fleeting bitterness that doesn’t linger long in the palate. Very refreshing. 210505

Black color. Very nice aroma, hoppy and earthy. Lovely taste! Malty, hoppy, sweet, bitter, aromatic, with a touch of spices and liquorice; chocolate, roasted malt. Excellent! Fresh.

Dark color; thin creamy head. Complete different aroma from the Cask version, amlty and lightly roasty, with a touch of vanilla and paperboard. The flavor is more aggressive (carbonation) and straight-forward: roasted malt, malt, some liquorice.
