Clear, dark red amber. Malty, fruity, slightly soapy aroma with faint hop notes. Similar flavour, rather short, sourish bitter finish. Nice but not particularly mindblowing.

Bottle @ The Unholy Trinity Meets Again, Sønderborg. Pours slightly hazy dark ruby / copper brown with small off-white head. Clear aroma of caramel malt, with notes of fruit and hops. Sweetish, malty and fruity flavour, with notes of caramel and hops and touches of yeast. Estery and bready finish, with some rough and farty notes. Not bad but not quite exciting, either. More flavourful than a reguar German Dunkel, though.

Bottle, 4.8%. The aroma has a whiff of butter and then a faint floral hop note. Clear copper colour. OK white head. The flavour is perhaps a little buttery at first, but that soon gives way to a more roasted maltiness. Late caramelly and nicely malty/citric finish.

Bottle @ The Unholy Trinity Meets Again, Sønderborg. Pours clear rich amber with airy white head. Clear aroma of dust and hops, with faint touches of malt and some estery notes. Bitter, hoppy flavour with notes of malt, touches of caramel and hints of butter. Bitter aftertaste with subtle notes of aniseed. Well-ballanced and not bad but definitely not a Helles in any respect.
