[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A hazy orange beer with an OK off-white head. The aroma is sweet and very fruity - and so is the flavor, and here the fruitiness reveals peaches, and leads to a slightly bitter dry finish.

[Cask at Charlies Bar, Copenhagen] A deep red beer with a nice brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with light notes of berries, while the flavor has strong notes of nuts and some notes of cowberries as well as caramel, on a sweet malty background, leading to a dry slightly bitter end.

Copper color. Light aroma, disappears quickly. Medium structure, strong herbal hop taste, hop resins. The bitterness develops more at the end, hoppy, peculiar. Refreshing and good.

Bottle: Amber coloured, thin, steady, fluffy head, a bit lacing; herbal, hoppy nose, a tinge of "medicine" with distinctive fruity overtones (plums); quite dry fruity-bitter taste; distinctive herbal-hoppy finish; quite light bodied and low carbonated. A pleasant example.

Bottle from Adnams Brewery shop. Dark brown/red beer. Excellent aromas of rich dark fruits and some chocolate and coffee with roasted raisins. Full in mouth and slightly sweeter than the cask version (maybe due to the higher alcohol) but still an excellent strong bitter
