Bottled at Petalax Beer Festival. Clear pale golden, rich head. Evident buttery diacetyl aroma. Sweet and medium bodied with some grass and stale butter. The diacetyl aside it’s fairly clean with a sharpish salty finish. Quite unremarkable, except for the diacetyl.

Bottle. (33cl swing-top!) It looks clear when poured, with a dark chestnut color and a large tan head. Quite sweet aroma with lightly burnt malt, quite a lot of malts actually, and hops and resin. Sugar, roasted malt, hops, caramel and some alcohol in the flavor. A bit warming, almost full mouthfeel. A nice blend of a doppelbock, a porter and hops. Thx KnutAlbert for this rare gem. (070321)

Plastic bottle 1,5 ltr (BB 11/2006). Red-brown color, vanishing white head. Caramelly, diacetylic nose. Carbonated. Harsh malty with kind of buttery and grassy flavor. Sweet butterscotch is dominating the flavor. I suppose that this ain’t much better as fresh.
