7.4/10
Underrated. True to style. Malt and yeast ester driven beer. The barrell adds a complementary goodness. Mikkeller ams

Can. Color: Hazy golden, white head. Aroma: Malty, grainy, Brett funk, subtle fruity grapes. Taste: Smooth, almost creamy. Notes of citrus fruit, lime, hints of grapes, notes of Brett funk. Malty base. Wheat malt. Medium body, quite dense (oats) for this style. Under average carbonation. Lighly tart, very light bitterness. Light vinuous hints of white wine. Dry-ish finish. Nice refreshing beer, a lot of taste for such a low alcoholic Table Beer.

Can. Color: Very dark ruby, almost black. Very thin beige head. Aroma: Dark malt, mocha, quite a lot of cherry, boozy notes. Taste: Starting dark malt, some roasted malt, coffee and mocha notes. After a second or two the boozy cherry Brandy come in and takes over. Finishing almost candy-like: Sweetish cherry gums with booze notes, ending dry-ish and bittery.. Over medium body, just below average carbonation. Well brewed, but just not my kind of beer.

Can. Appearance - hazy orange with a foamy cream head. Nose - big orange and pine straight up. Like cakey note lurking. Taste - orange, cake, just an edge of toffee or caramel. Palate - light bodied, initially zingy, dry finish which then turns a little sweet. Overall - fairly balanced, just slightly sweeter than preferred. Great nose!

Can. Color: Very dark ruby, going towards black, light brown head. Aroma: Sweetish PX Sherry, fruity grapes, dark and lightly roasted malt. Taste: Nicely balanced combination of sweetish and fruity PX Sherry and boozy Single Malt Whiskey is overwhelming the lightly roasted malt a little bit. That's ok for me, because I like the PX. Over moderate sweet, light to moderate bitterness. Over medium body, below average carbonation. Nice one.
