(bottle) Cloudy and hazy reddish amber colour with a fluffy off-white foam with lace. Soft wheat-malty, slightly woody aroma with cloves and a restrained fruit-character. Light sweet flavour, very light bodied, low carbonation which is below being smooth. Dry and soft wheaty, slightly toasty and woody taste and an almost watery mouthfeel. Dry and slightly bitter, slightly fruity finish with very present cloves. Quite watery, not very round, but “enriched” with beech-wood chips and heavily overpriced brew (1,80 €/0,5l).

Bottle: Copper to light amber coloured, small off-white head, sticking to the glass; fruity (raisins) and caramelly nose, faint aromas of roasted malts; slightly malty, quite dry flavour, rather light bodied; fruity and malty finish with a distinctive, almost aromatic, bitterness in the end. Not bad, not unpleasant, maybe a bit too "light"...............

Bottle from Sainsburys. Gold/copper colour with no head to speak of. Chocolately malts and spice aromas. Bit metallic in mouth, bit dead. Then good choc finish with spicy hop. Alright but it would be better as a live beer.

(Bottle 50 cl) My label claims it’s made by Holsten Brauerei, but it’s all Carlsberg anyway. Reddish amber with a pretty, dense head. Very malty with some slightly smoked notes. Soft and lightly caramelish with a hoppy finish. Matured in wooden vats. Nice brew. 050400
