7th October 2025
Panda thanks to Cloin. A mild to medium haze on this gold beer, small and short lived bubbly pale cream colour head. Light palate, mildly dry, decent fine minerally carbonation. Smooth light pale malts, a medium creamy sweetness. Hops bring light pine. Some juicy citrus. Bit of citrus peel and marmalade bitterness. A mild hop spice. Exits with mild candy fruits. Good all rounder.

Can. Nose is rich coffee, hint of smoke. The syrup is really pronounced and inviting. Taste is maple syrup, hint of chocolate and coffee. brown sugar, more syrup, leading to vanilla, and then a sweet syrup finish. The smoke and coffee notes of the stout start to appear again long after the finish and the sugar dies down. Rich mouthfeel.

It is like drinking maple syrup. I think I like it, but I am not sure how I am going to feel after 440ml.....

First ever match in Europe and a 2-0 win and now 19 games unbeaten 😍🔴🔵 🦅sweet fruity with citrusy notes of red grapefruit and tangerine, some peachy and mango Stonefruit coming in, sweet malty backbone, just a tad sweet going into the hoppy close.

Etter en flott sykkeltur i sterk motvind er jeg høyt motivert for å gå planken på Melkebaren: brunsvart med eksemplarisk skum helt til bunns (nr. 4 fra venstre). Kokosmakroner, vanilje, kakao, Bounty sjokolade. Fyldig og søt. En god dessertøl selv om det ble i overkant mye kokos mot slutten.

On this drinking day in 1888, in the shadows of Victorian Whitechapel, Jack The Ripper murdered two victims in one night. Hazy golden sticky-sweet and very sweet tasting through lots of sugars, which transfers into aroma too. There's tropical notes itching to be found behind these.
