Bottled. Hazy orangeish amber colour with mediumsized creamy white head that lasts for quite a while. Aroma is very fruity and flowery hops along with some chocolate cookies as well as some mild roasted notes. Flavour is very much the same in a very nice and harmonic balance. Hides the alcohol very well.

33 cL bottle. Pours dark brown with a lacing chocolate brown head. Mild vanilla, light woody, chocolate and roasted malt aroma - very promising and inviting. Flavour is subdued sweet. Smooth chocolate and caramel. Gains bitterness along the way. Warming alcohol feel. Light vanilla note. Warming finish with a lingering finish of alcohol, chocolate and vanilla. Lovely balance.

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange almost murky with a lacing white head. Pine and orange fruity hops aroma. Flavour is pine, liqourice and a sweet caramel malt base. Goes into a solid bitter finish, very dry yet with a light fruity note. 7-3-7-4-15=3.6
From bottle before release - quite fresh. Pours dark orange and hazy. Heavy hoppy aroma. Complex heavy hoppy flavour, it simply has all. Ends with a lingering sweet caramel malt base to a dry hoppy flavour on top. Funny how the hops oil constantly changes between the different hops on my palate. Nice. 8-4-8-4-16=4.0

(Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Pours a slightly hazy amber golden with a creamy, beige head. Fat, oily and very complex hop aroma. Quite full-bodied with plenty of caramel malts. But otherwise completely dominated by the fat, citrusy hops that leave a substantial bitterness. I feared the worst from this hop monster, but it actually came out very decent. 120108

Bottled. Dark brown, small off-white head. Gingery nose. Sweet and fruity with medium body. The only flavour I get is ginger. Ginger that burns all the way, giving it an unpleasant, lopsided chemical flavour. It’s fairly sweet and there should be enough malt to balance a reasonable spice content - but it doesn’t work - all I taste is ginger.

Bottled. Dark ruby/brown, small creamy beige head. Aroma of fusels, apricot and toffee. Sweet with compact malty body. Medium-full bodied with lots of chocolate sauce and a salty bitterish finish where alcohol plays a part. Would probably prefer a more toned down version.

50 cl bottle@vinensverden,Odense. Pours muddy brown with a nice creamy head. Lots of roasted malts , caramel & bread! Soft & medium body - a bit thin perhaps. Hints of chocolate. I must not compare this to nøgne ø: Imperial brown, but I cant help it! Not as good in any way!
