Bottle, 5.1%. Distinct banana aroma, hint of citrus. Hazy orange colour. Big stable white head. The flavour starts off with some banana, but finishes citric, almost sour and actually a little watery.

bottle, traded with frankenland. Clear pale brown colour, medium-sized head. Medium-bodied, flavours of malt, roasted malt and herbal hay, slightly grassy. Intensive flavours of cocoa powder. Interesting and nice, not sweet but still full of flavour.

bottle, traded with frankenland. Clear golden yellow. Medium-bodied, hints of cardboard, but pleasantly hoppy with a herbal character. he flavours are good, but the beer is a bit watery, though. If it weren’t for its wateryness and the cardboard hints, it would be even better. Overall quite nice.

Draught at the brewery’s restaurant. Quite sweet aroma, brown sugar, hint of acid. Dark brown colour, seems clear. Big rocky light brown head. The flavour is malty, sweet, vinous. The finish starts out roasted, but seems to disappear after a few sips, leaving a sourish graininess. Too high carbonation.

From bottle, no 11 at Papsoes blindtasting. Pours hazy and amber with a fully diminished off-white head. Dry malty and breadish aroma. Flavour holds a slight sweetness and strong flavours of dried fruit. Has a mild malty chocolate smoothness into the finish. This keeps lingering on top of the mild breadish notes. Nice.

Hazy amber color. Aroma of chocolate and of mature malt. Medium-thick body, strong caramel flavor, a hint of hay and honey, quite sweet. Not bad, but somehow not impressive.
