Bottle. Clear light copper liquid with small white head. Aroma of butter, old meat, citrus, bread and cardboard. Taste is light sweet and light bitter with notes of butter, cardboard and bread. Medium bodied with low carbonation. Awful. Really broken.

Sample from 50 cl. bottle. Dark brown colour with a reddish hue. Small, tan head. Sweet, roasted aroma with malts, coffee, chocolate, dark, dried fruits, vanilla and licorice. Taste is sweet. Full body, thicker texture. Finishes bitter and roasted with dark chocolate and licorice. Excellent Porter from down under.

Bottle at Taps Beer Bar Kuala Lumpur. Poured a clear light straw colour with a frothy white head. The aroma is pretty weak malt leading to a medium bitter, hoppy, aromatic flavour. A rather drinkable refreshing Pilsener that won’t win too many awards or friends.

50cl bottle from Systembolaget, Malmö. No BB date, just a 2010 anno and a damn heavy bottle. Brune foncée, col épais moka, crémeux. Arôme malté, grillé, chocolaté avec un léger côté sucre candi. Le tout augure un profil centré sur les malt. Palais est épais et réchauffant. Alcool bien perceptible et ce côté belge de levure d’abbaye est ici aussi à noter et agréable. Palais est épais, liquoreux avec une impression collante aux lèvres. Garde aussi ce côté d’avoine tellement la note grains est conséquente, se terminant sur une amertume modérée. Une bouteille est amplement suffisante et même une 25cl aurait été plus qu’assez.

Bottle. Copper coloured with a slight, off-white head. Caramel, red fruits, bready malts and a touch of grassy hop in the finish. Enjoyable, easy drinking.

50cl bottle at Jerntorgets Brygghus, Göteborg. Bottled on 14/11/2012. Orangée, col moyen blanc. Arôme présente ce bouquet houblonné résiduel assez léger léger d’une dominance maltée rappelant le cara et vienna. Le houblon rajoute quant à lui de faible notes fruitées. Palais est ici aussi dominé par un malt cara sans pour cela prendre le dessus des houblons. Ces derniers offrent des notes citronnées, herbacées voire faiblement épicées.
