Cask at European Beer Festival, Copenhagen. A copper-colored, clear beer with a cask-size off-white head. Roasted malt, crackers and some weak notes of chocolate in the aroma. The flavor is quite toffeeish with some coffee and roasted malts. Dry, thin mouthfeel and a toasty finish. Far from exciting, but it slides down very easily. (080913)
