Huge, creamy dirty-brown head; opaque red-brown beer. Bitterish-nutty nose, with sweet molasses undertow. Rather harsh bitter initially, with some near-cloying restsugars in the background. The bitterness disappears fast, leaving dull sweetness, slightly Traubenzucker-like. Well bodied, very slick, but flat at the same time. Obvious alcohol warming. Sweet aftertaste. Very dull, unidimensional, boring beer. Supermarkt stuff indeed.

(Bottle 25 cl) Most often these non alcohols are a limited pleasure, but this is different though. A fine, white head and a feel of both malt and hops ending up in a bitter finish reminding me of a real lager. Highly drinkable for it’s style. 110698

330 ml bottle, bought at Vinens Verden, Odense, Denmark. Deep red-brown colour, large light tan head. Surprisingly moderate malty aroma, notes of caramel and oak. Improves as the beer warms up, some vinous qualities. Flavour is malty with some caramel and brown bread notes, moderate hops. Easy drinking, refreshing for its strength. Okay.

Bottled. Yellow colour, small head. Hayish vegetably malty nose. Harsh grassy flavour with grainy hints. Boring. Peas in aftertaste. Normal lager, nothing special at all...

Clear gold, fluffy white head. Very malty nose, powerful, nearly green malt-like. Nose is confirmed in the taste; very malty, grainy too, but dry, no excess sweetness. Some fruityness retronasal - like wild strawberries or their flowers. Grist slickness, not light bodied, good in its kind. Way better than average lager. In this kind of beers, Roman is quite good

Draught Good, collapsing snow-white head, leaving lace; pale gold beer. Slight bitterish-hoppy nose, with pale malt background. Bitterish pilsner, fine hoppiness, better than most industrial pilsners, bitterish on the foreground, backed by pale malts. Light MF, bitterish aftertaste. As said, better than average, nowhere exciting.

Bottle, at Den Tatoverede Enke, Copenhagen. Honey coloured. Honey and spices in the aroma, quite nice. Flavour is rather sweet, some mild spices, but lacks "bite". Alcohol is evident.

(Bottle 75 cl) Dark brown beer with a slight haze and a pretty, lacing head. Surprisingly dry for such a dark, strong beer. Mainly notes of plain, roasted malt and candy sugar. Decent, but lacks some character. 241001
