Bottle. Sweet aroma. The flavour is roasted, malty and sweet, perhaps with a little dust. Liquorice aftertaste. Low carbonation and pleasant mouthfeel.

An orange beer with no head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of caramel - reminds me of a Bock. The flavor is sweet malty with lots of caramel as well as lighter notes of roasted malt, which makes the end dry and roasted and somewhat bitter.

An orange beer with slight haze underneath a white head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of raspberries. The flavor is sweet with primary notes of raspberries - too berry like for me, and not very malty. The end is very dry end rather bitter.

A very dark beer with a slight red shine underneath a thin brown head. The aroma is sweet and roasted, while the flavor is sweet - too sweet for me, and with notes of burnt plastic, combined with a roasted note, which in no way balances the sweetness.
