Different label than in RB photo. Golden color, big foamy white head, lace. Metallic hoppy nose. Nice straightforward hoppyness but lacks on malt side - empty as sayaravai said.. Some sweetness in the finish. Bitter aftertaste.

Beautiful clear dark amber color with big CO2 bubbles and good foamy tanned head. Oaky, nutty, quite typical ESB&Old Ale nose. Medium-bodied. A bit roasted and nutty with, hints of licorice. A bit caramelly, also slightly metallic mouthfeel. Some hops in the finish. Somehow this reminds me about Fullers ESB. Not in its class however.

I was not sure what to expect from this one but found myself to be quite pleased. Sampled from a 16.9 oz brown bottle this beer poured a dark chestnut color with a medium sized creamy tan head. The aroma is sweet, tangy and has a strong note of molasses. The flavor is strong molasses with tangy ripe fruits underneath. There is a deep malty molasses finish. I will be coming back to this beer again.

[At Københavnske Øldage 2005] A clear red beer with a disappearing off-white head. The aroma contains slight hints of cowberries as well as alcohol. The flavor is primarily of alcohol, that dries out the mouth combined with some metal notes during the beginning, and then turning into a end where cowberries take over.

(Bottle 50 cl) Pale amber, hazy ale without much head. Typical fruity notes from the ale-yeast, a bit of hops and nothing much more. A classical, plain Bitter. 240205

(Bottle 50 cl) I’ve had light lagers before with a lot of flavour. Well, this is the exception from that rule. Beautiful, deep bronze in colour, nice head. Weak notes of malt and some fruit and then...nothing. Absolutely nothing. Just water, and a whole half litre of it. 100105

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark, mahogany-red with a thick creamy, light-brownish head. Nice caramel in the nose lasting all the way through to the aroma. But a very dry caramel, the sweetness is very limited. The bitterness is much more pronounced - with the hops underlying all the way through. Lots of lovely fruity esters. Nice one. 030105

(Bottle 50 cl) Dark, reddish ale with a fine, light brown head. Very full and sweetish with a lightly smoked touch and some bitterness in the palate. Fully balanced. A lovely wee one... 010404
