Pint can from Trader Joe’s. Pale lager pour kicks up a lot of fluffy foam, looks like any other macro so far. Light malt smell with adjunct all around it. Taste generic. Just some fizzy malt, no hop character to speak of. Just a little sweet. Decent to drink. A bit of sharp alcohol in the middle betrays some kind of mass production. Just a bit more funk than a Heineken.

500ml can shared at Finn’s in Tromsø. The head is white as chalk. Golden body with good clarity. Vague smell of sweet fruits. Shortage of taste - only a few hints of grass. Medium palate and soft carbonation (21.10.2008).

Canned(500ml). -found this beauty somewhere in Amsterdam.
Beginning was rather ok, golden coloured, medium sized white head that went away fast, apples and strong alcohol nose. After first sip everything goes to hell. Horrible malt liquor with tonnes of sugar, glue and alcohol.

0.5l can (of course) shared with and courtesy of ogivlado who brought it from the Netherlands I guess. Poured a fine golden body, with some lazy carbonation snaking its way to the thick, medium sized white head. that didn’t exactly vanish immediately. Not great, not bad. And then I smelled it and I regretted that. Huge aroma of glue and paint mixing with alcohol and some apples. Terrible. And then I did something that I really shouldn’t have after smelling it. I tasted it. And lo! The glue owns the taste again with it’s warming, crude buddy, the alcohol, clearing up everything after it. Absolutely disgusting. As I progressed through my half of the can I sensed a passable sweet malty note for a few short moments, but the glue and the alcohol were quick to bludgeon it into oblivion. To avoid.

33cl retro bottle courtesy of ogivlado (thanks!), shared with heavy. Very dark, blackish red-brown. Sweetish nose, raisins and dark malts. The taste is sweet enough to make me doubt that it’s anything close to a Dry Stout. Smoked berries (eh?), caramel, cola, light, kinda pleasant woodiness. Some alcohol maaaybe. Just ok, had many better stouts.

0.33 l bottle, thanks Doggythedog for sharing! What an ugly fat bottle and label, looks like it is produced back in fifties somewhere in USSR... Beer itself poured nice very dark red-brown body with small compact brown head. Sweet caramel and some dark fruits aroma, oak as well, but with notes of metallicity. Tasteless flavor, with nothing except some sweetened cork wood. It’s not thin bodied, actually it has creamy texture on palate, but it leaves such impression. Short, woody finish. Not good and not dry stout at all in my opinion, more like foreign stout.

50cl Can. A slight relief, this was much better than the 8.5. Doesn’t make it good though. Pale golden colour, white head. Skunky and strong floral and fruity aroma, alcohol. Flavour is malty and fruity sweet, alcoholsweetness and some more alcohol. Nah.

Canned (as Royal Dutch Post Horn Extra Strong, ABV 8,5%). Shared by TBone, thanks (?!?). Golden colour, mediumsized white head. Aroma is malts, alcohol, saltwater and some metal. Flavour is very metallic and alcoholic with some harsh hints of grass. Death by surprise...
