(Bottle 75 cl) Hazy deep golden with a rough, off-white head. Rather enticing celery aroma - although I actually hate celery.... Medium-bodied, spicy, peppery with celery accents and a discreet whiff of tomato. Dry and bitter finish. Very unusual but still quite drinkable. 311008

Big bottle purchased at Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. Cool logo. Dark, rusty brown body under a patch surface. Roasted malt to the nose. Taste of chocolate malts on a bitter liquorice backbone. Long lived ending with noticeable alcohol. Full bodied, but a bit unvaried (shared with Skinnyviking, Valby 10.09.2008)

Big bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. Shared with Skinnyviking. Dense, tan coloured head over a devil-black body. Nice glass-lacing. Dark malty aroma with notably alcohol. Anise and chocolate can be detected, but the delicate flavour is partial run over by alcohol. Bitter endnotes. Full bodied (Valby, 10.09.2008)

Bottle from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen. Complex and comprehensive ale which was a real pleasure to drink. Hazy, dark orange body supported by a thin, creamy head. Fruity smell containing watermelon and peaches with alcohol beneath. Sappy, bitter fruits in flavour leading to a lingering, hop bitter ending still with a warming touch alcohol. Soft palate, but full bodied and very well balanced (shared with Skinnyviking, 10.09.2008)
