This was also quite malty (7 malts!) but naturally much better. I loved the first few sips but it leveled off. Pic: brilliant food pairing, as always.

Bottle from HavnensVin&Tobak. Pours opaque dark brown with huge light brown head. Aroma is roasted malt, caramel, brown sugar, prunes, raisins, dried apricot, soy sauce, oak and hints of vanilla. Taste is medium to very sweet, light to medium bitter, light acidic and faint to light salty. Body is a bit watery with sparkling carbonation. Finish is long and mostly sweet with notes of caramel, roasted malt, dried dark fruits, oak, coffee, chocolate and hints of chalk and iron. A bit too watery and way too much carbonation for my taste.

Hazy brownish. Aroma is dates lemon figs dark honey, quite complex. Taste is sweet dried fruit with sharp hoppy sting. Bitter melasses. Sweet malty base but not super full bodied. Quite drinkable. Nice finish of more dried fruit. Good

Bottle. Deep brown with a beige head that's soon less than a coat. Aroma of strong bread, dried and stewed fruit, hints of spices. Deeper flavours upon a taste - rich and sweet with bread, chocolate, fruit, spices and enough bitterness to keep things in check. A little warmth too.

Bottle online from The Trembling Madness. Pours a hazy deep caramel brown colour with a medium sized creamy off white head. Aromas of caramel, toffee, brown bread and brown sugar. Taste is fruity and a little spicy with more caramel and brown sugar. Medium body and a gentle light fizzy carbonation. Not bad but with no distinct flavours i can detect. Edit: re-rated 17/12/22. Same notes as before, very sweet and noticeable warming alcohol present. Seems a bit all over the place. Not a fan of this beer.
