500ml bottle, 2025 vintage. Chocolate brownie aroma with notes of raspberry, cherry, marzipan and almond. Pours deep brown with a thin mocha brown head that has little retention and a thin ring of lacing. Starts with rich chocolate brownie, marzipan and cherry flavors as well as having a rich, full body and silky smooth mouthfeel. Finishes wonderfully smooth with almond and jammy raspberry flavors as well as a bit of warming booze at the very end. Quite nice on this frigid night.

Can to tulip.

Aroma: mango, tangerine and apricot hop notes, bright and juicy bittersweet through clean malts
Flavor: bittersweet bright tropical juiciness; mild aftertaste of mangoes and apricots
Texture: medium bodied with a great sipping quality, very smooth and somewhat creamy; finishes with the apricots and mangoes

Tap at Drinkøteka. Murky orange-golden body, thick off-white head. Citric, peachy and overall heavily vegetal aroma. Smooth, soft, elegant, bit creamy body, highly drinkable... And yet the low citric and stone fruit notes get overwhelmed by this weird huge vegetal note. Yeah, nah. Something went wrong here. And I can totally see this being lovely, the body is nice, the alcohol well hidden, but what I'm drinking right now is... Not worth the money invested. Sadly.

Can to becher pint glass.
Appearance: dark brown close to black color with a finger and a half foamy off white head, sly lace
Aroma: rich dark roasted malts, earthy yeasty vibes, dark bread, some toast
Flavor: bready/toasty sweet with a mild yeasty backing, dry toasty and roasty aftertaste
Texture: light to medium bodied, closer to being sessionable than a sipper, some grip on my tongue, dry toasty and semi-yeasty finish
Overall: I'd say a nicely done dark lager worthy of returning to.
