500 ml bottle from Total Wine. Pours a clear orange-amber color with a thick off-white head and great retention. Very good lacing. Light caramel malt and sulfur aroma. Same light caramel and light sulfur flavors too. Okay, but underwhelming. Needs more flavor and carbonation, and less sulfur. Medium body. Semi-slick mouthfeel. Under carbonated. Not bitter.

April 2013: 500 ml can, bought in Denmark. ABV is 4.5%. Dark reddish brown colour, moderate off-white head. Moderate aroma of caramel and brown bread. Caramel and brown bread in the flavour too, quite nice. Very moderate hops, as normal for the style.
