A clear copper pint with a malty smell. It tastes quite hoppy and has a strong toasted-type edge to it with a hint of caramel. For my taste the smokiness is a bit much once I drink more of it but it’s not bad.

A strong aroma of toasted malt and the flavour is the same, with a little smokiness. It’s a simple, clean taste and very drinkable.

Flaske. Pours clear golden, with a finger thick head. A lot of things going on in the aroma with roasted caramel malts, toffee and grain on top, as well as some peat and vinous, whisky-like oakiness with honey and heather. Creamy body with soft carbonation. Flavour is sweet and with definite whisky notes of lots of malts and smoke. At first it’s almost nauseating cardboard-ish and buttery grains, but with temperature this fades away for a more balanced and nice long sweet malty finish.

330ml bottle. Clear darkest brwon colour with small, creamy, half-way lasting, minimally lacing, tan head. Spicy, roasty, dark malty aroma with an intense lovage note, burnt malt. Taste is roasty dark malty, subtle sweetness, coffee notes become clearer in the finish. Not completely convincing.

(bottle, 33cl) Almost black colour with a brown and short foamy head. Strong espresso aroma with notes of milky chocolate and a touch of roasty malt. Sweet-bitter flavour, medium to light bodied with a moderate carbonation. Profound coffee and chocolate flavours with a quite sweet and roasty bitter malty body, getting slightly slim towards the finish. Aromatic brew but the flavours do not perfectly fit together. 04.II.13

(bottle, 33cl) Clear, amber colour with a short and tanned foamy head. Buttery cara-malty aroma with slightly fruity hops in the background. Moderately sweet flavour, light to medium bodied with a modest carbonation. Cara-malt upfront with notes of butter and a tinge of apricots; moderately dry and a tad slim finish with cara-malt and delicately fruity hops. Easy-going Ale. 03.II.13

Pale yellow complexion with plenty of pale ale character in both aroma and taste. Little head and a medium body.
