500ml bottle. Filtered pale amber-yellow color. Big, frothy, and quickly dissipating head. Crisp lager-house Saazy hop aroma. Lots of doughy yeast character. with the distinctive Eastern-European spicy Saaz hopping. Unfortunately there is also a thin, macro grainy feel to it. Sugary in a way as well. Still drinkable, enjoyable, and refreshing.

Dark ruby brown with a lasting off-white head. Malt and molasses aroma with a little hops and unfermented wort. Sweet toffee and brown sugar flavour. Nice malty and hoppy finish that isn’t too sweet.

50cl bottle @ VinensVerden, Odense. Pours a dark amber with a reddish hew and a creamy white head and lacings. Nose and taste is roasted malts, caramel, toffee and fruit. Smooth and full palate. A bit sweet but very well balanced. Alcohol well hidden. A nice one . .

50cl bottle @ VinensVerden, Odense. Label says 4,8%. Pours dark brown with a small creamy white head and lacings. Roast, caramel, bread, grain. Some sweetness but overall well balanced. Extremely smooth and lots of flavor for a beer with such low alcohol content. Very nice!

16.9oz bottle. Deep opaque brown. Nutty, pungent brown sugar aroma. Lots of nutty burnt toffee, sweet and malty. There isnt even a trace of hops. Delicate mouthfeel, mild to minimal carbonation. Some light Malta pungency. Enjoyable enough, sort of your Czech Newcastle, with the accompanying quality deficiencies. Light and easy, OK.

50 cl bottle @ VinensVerden, Odense. Pours dark brown with a small creamy head. Nose and taste is sweet of caramel, buiscuit and a hint of butterscotch. A bit of grain. Medium bodied. Too sweet - they forgot the hops? Drinkable.
