Very dark brown with some reddish highlights; yellowish-brown head, not very persistent. Very nice nose with chocolate, dark malts, and (very) light lactic acid. Lots of chocolate malt, very little sourness, all the bigger on alcohol and higher alcohols. Finishes a bit woody, dry - chocolate (malt). Very well-bodied, alcohol-warming. Very well balanced, actually, just a bit heavy on the chocolate malt. Very big thanks to JezzaP for this gem, unknown in its homecountry.

A hazy deep red beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of fruit. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of berries.

(Bottle 75 cl) Pours a clear, orangey brown with a tall, dense, off-white head leaving laces. Vinous, sweetish aroma. Very full-bodied and very pleasant with some diacetyl. Not a world class Abt, but a lovely brew nonetheless. 021206

Bottle. Dark mahogony beer with a big beige head. Malty, plum, light spicey aroma. Malty, yeasty spice flavor with a bit of banana, date, and plum fruits. Alcohol present. A lot of flavors that don’t quite meld. A bit dusty at end.

Sedimented dark chestnut colour. Fresh, fruity aroma with abundant pear, cherry, plum as well as earthy, brown sugary dark malts. The flavour leads with alcohol and brown sugar sweetness. Even balanced between these, with light fruity notes, a rare abt that isn’t earth shattering.
