Bottle. Hazy, dark orange pour, with a beige head. Sweet and malty nose, with caramel, fruityness, some spicy notes and dried fruits. Dried fruits and malt starts the flavor, soon followed by caramel, and then a spicyness. It has a long, sweet and slightly spiced finish. Medium to full body. Quite nice, but a bit hard to grade. The total experience is better than if I spilt it into aroma and flavor. (070928)

(Bottle 33 cl) Hazy, reddish amber with a creamy, beige head. Sweetish aroma of caramel and spices. Fairly full-bodied with sweetish, malty caramel notes and some spices. 211006

An unclear orange-brown beer with an OK lazing brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with primary notes of caramel, but also light notes of alcohol. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of alcohol and fruits, oranges and peaches, as well as lighter notes of spices, dusty hops, and alcohol, which burns slightly in the throat.

(Cold) hazy orange; slim but persistent white head. Dry nose as from candi-sugar, orange zeste, yeast, with a little nutmeg finish. Dry, spiced and citrussy taste. Right, the straightjacket again. There's a good malt-sugar underbuild. Medium-bodied. Crisp citrus finish. OK, this beer is technically nearly perfect. It is even nice to drink. but I want to be shocked out of my wits, dammit!

Colour of very strong tea; dense white head, not very stable. Roasted malts and lots of caramel and toffee in the nose, tinge of buttermilk. Uneasy sweet-bitter balance. Bitterness from roasted malts, rather than hops. Finish sways towards a fruity sweetness (yellow apples -maybe caramelised-, figs, ripe pears). Quite chewy mouthfeel, a bit soupy (typical for these bittersweet malt concoctions). Somehow I get an impression of 'not finished'. Not enough lagering? Or just poor choice in biomalts? I remain unconvinced.
