Medium dark brown head. Opaque black body. Roasty coffeeish aroma with wooden laquer and burnt notes. Dry-sweet roasty resiny burnt taste with honey, alcohol, and lacquer notes. Fullish body. Mild, mealy mouthfeel with slight heat. Dry resiny burnt coffee aftertaste with sooty lacquer and alcohol notes. Excellent! Balanced and drinkable, and full of flavour.

Medium tan head. Deep dark red body with light carbonation. Earthy caramelly aroma with fruity resiny dusty roasty notes. Dry-sweet, and faintly acidic, roasty minty earthy taste with dusty wooden lacquer notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft, smooth mouthfeel. Dryish resiny spicy lacquer aftertaste with roasty creosote notes. Nice, but not major. (0.5l bottle, Fish & Beer, Copenhagen.)

Bottle. Black with a tan head that fades after a while. Powerful but by no means brash aroma of roasted malt, vanilla, coffee, darkish sugars, alcohol. Oily to slightly syrupy mouthfeel, low carbonation. Taste has lots of coffee that’s a little acidic, dark toffee, berries, cardamom, roasted bitterness. Fairly sweet, but cleaned up by hop and malt bitterness and some astringency. Oak and dry at the end with some salt. A little hot there too. Hop bitterness builds and lingers, as does the salt. The spicy/ sugary element reminds me of palm treacle more than jaggery, but there’s a real South Asian sweetmeat thing here that works well and doesn’t dominate. Plenty going on and pretty harmonious. Will age. Ambitious and very good.

75ml bottle bought at De Molen, shared with DutchDrebus and Joes. Hazy dark brown color. Smells like smoked bacon (reminds me of McDonalds’ NY Crispy). Taste is more soft and lingers for a long time. Taste smoked in the finish.

Smallish offwhite head. Clear amber body with strong carbonation. Deep oranges and resin aroma with white wine grape and spice notes. Very fresh and clear. Dry-sweet wooden resiny oranges taste with spicy grape notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dry wooden resiny pine needle aftertaste with spicy grassy notes. Lovely! Full of flavour, yet fresh and drinkable. (0.5l bottle, Fish & Beer, Copenhagen.)

Draught at Mikkeller Bar. Pours hazy dark golden with a light yellowish head. Heavy brew with a taste of grapefruit and grape seeds. I thought it was a IIPA.

Draught @ Mikkeller Bar. Pours orange. Kind of sweet aroma. Grape and citrusy notes. The taste is well balanced. Lots of grape and gooseberry notes but also some caramel malt. Bitter grapefruit in the aftertaste. Quite heavy stuff.
