pours clear brown, settles dark brown with a small creamy light brown head.
aroma feels thin, but loaded with adjuncts, flavoring stuff, vanilla, milk chocolate, the white caramelly'ish bits in toblerone, only faint roasted malts.
flavor is milk chocolate, vanilla, white caramel, white chocolate, a faint strange burnt caramelly bitterness, a pear or apple like fruity note.. hardly any beer flavor, only all the added stuff - and the flavors does not really feel like they might be side effects of yeasts or malts and the proces.
In my book, the base beer is WAY too weak for all the stuff put in it. The same stuff put into a heavy double mashed imp stout might become interesting, but right now its candy and vodka in a water bucket for me.

hazy brown pour with a creamy light brown head with bubbles.
aroma is sourish roasted malty as the last one from same brewery. wtf. it's 2025..
flavor is this time seriously sourish roasted malty with notes of carrots. infected. not impressed with two different special being infected end on end. that being said, it's an interesting infection and i will rate this as an intended infection.
so we have sourness, woody cedard woody sourness, some herbal sourness and as a wild ale, the wood seem to have done well to temper the sourness and make the brew velvety. i'ts like if you barrel aged a good stout on cedar wood ad kept the top open to gain bacteria and wild yeasts.

Keg draught at the Ale Pole, Daventry. Dark brown, opaque with a smattering of beige head. The aroma, baby, is ruthless. Sweet milky chocolate, nougat, nutty notes. They nailed it. The taste is so close to too sweet but the caramel lashings are just too lively to complain about. Nougat in the aftertaste. Medium body with carbonation on the heavy side. Very recommended.

440ml can. It was a gift, probably from House of Trembling Madness, York, and drunk at home. Its very, very dark brown with a small and quickly dissipating tan head. Bitter cooking chocolate, almond extract, stone fruit and some vanilla in the aroma. Taste is pretty sweet, buoyed up by the almonds, with a gritty, almost ashy bitterness beneath. Would make a nice balance but it jars a bit. Overall impression is good though, and it's a decent if imperfect drink. Thick body with carbonation on the low side.

can from meny toftegårds plads
dark brown, smooth large light brown head
aroma of almost sour cream, chocolate nibs, vanillla, coconut, adjuntjs and mor adjuncts, chocolate. so much adjuncts i can't really get roasted malts anywhere. Perhaps i served myself the can a bit too cold (8 degrees approx). Flavor is almost sour cream, chocolate, vanilla, faint roasted malts, dark toffee. pastry stout taken to the extreme, and then seemingly slightly sour. Not impressed. The base beer seem to be no match at all for all the stuff they put in.

33cl can from AbeerVinum, Rimini, Italy. Pours dark brown, with fine cappuccino foam. Aroma is toasty, caramel, a little hoppy and herbaceous. Body is average, with light carbonation. Taste is moderately bitter, toasty. Final is average.

Draught @ SKAAL Sønderborg. Pours cloudy dark brown with airy light tan head. Clear aroma of coffee and malt, with notes of yeast and touchesnof lactose. Bitter, roasty, coffeelike onset, with touches of hops and sweet notes of malt, lactose and dried fruit, as well as hints of liquorice. Roasty aftertaste with notes of liquorice and malt, and lactic touches. Warming alcohol presence. Good.
