500 ml bottle. Well, another day made progressively lousier with the passage of time, let’s see if this can brighten things up before bedtime. Nice beery smell upon opening, pours a nice ruby to brown with some cloudiness under a frothy head. Don’t know where those bananas are they refer to, I just get a nice decent English ale feel, with the foam leaving a cola texture on my lips. Okay, some slight fruitness further down, and a solid caramel malt profile with some distinguishing English hops. In fact, I’m getting a bit of spicy hop aftertaste. In fact, the hops really come up front near the end, and that’s new for something outside the pale ale cetegory, sez I. As a strong ale, it holds it alcohol well.

[Cask at Charlie’s Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy amber beer with a fine orange head. The aroma is sweet matly with notes of caramel - warm and inviting. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of caramel leading to a dry bitter and woody end.

Bottled. Copper colored beer with an off-white head leaving nice lacings in the glass. Aroma is fruity and piney. Flavor much the same, with a pronounced bitterness and malty sweetness. Medium body and a long piney bitterness in the finish. A pleasant ESB. (060217)

Bottled. Golden with a small off-white head. Aroma is dominated by a fruity unpleasant pine-apple smell. Maybe it is because it is just one week before BB-date? I have tasted this before, but can’t remember the profile of it, so I guess I’ll have to put it on my re-rate list. Ok flavor of fruits, mostly pine-apple, and pines. Resin-bitter and light fruity finish. (060124)

Orange colour with white head. Has a little fruity aroma. Malty flavor and fruity, some caramel too. Hoppy mouthfeel with some bitterness in the aftertaste. Monty Python is funnier than this beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) Very dark brown - close to black - with a nice, brownish head. Malty fullness and a dry bitterness - rather marked bitterness actually. Reminds me more of an old fashioned, traditional porter. Odd name - and explanation for it. 140603
