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.

Bottled. Cloudy yellow, creamy head. Pungent estery tiger balm aroma. Dryish and rathern slim with rounded mouthfeel. Lightly papery, but I get mostly tiger balm (which is a first time in beer for me!). Short finish without bitterness.
