UPDATED: DEC 7, 2021 Dense copper, tall non lasting white head. Aroma of malt, citrus, pete. Taste is maltdriven with a sour hint a la biere de garde, citrus and caranel aftertaste.

UPDATED: MAY 30, 2021 Bottle. Put it into a thistleish Tripel Karmeliet glass - to which I guess a Belgian Scotch Ale following the Carmelite tradition might be suited. Ha. It looks good in it too -very dark brown with a beige head that settles to a dense inch. Big malty aroma with dark sugars, dough, spices, licorice. Full bodied, maybe a bit fizzy. Not as sweet as I'd guessed with a touch of vinegar toffee, singed and toasted notes offsetting the brown sugar and stewed fruit elements before firmish bitterness. Carries its alcohol with aplomb. Better as it warmed to ~12C.

UPDATED: MAR 28, 2021 Copenhagen 28/3 2021. 75 cl paper wrapped bottle with a simplified drawing of a brewery in snowy weather kept in the colors dark green, red and white. Pours unclear, murky maroon with a big off-white head- Settles as thin but consistent layer of foam covering the surface of the beer. Settles a thin, patchy layer of foam unable to cover the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing. Aroma is fairly intense with a sweet odor mingling with salty fumes. Caramel, toffee and hints of brown sugar. Salty licorice. Sea breeze. Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lightly tingling texture. Flavor is medium intense with a medium strong sweetness followed but a medium strong bitterness with a salty tang. Aftertaste is salty with a light streak of alcohol. Lingers for a while. Not every day I drink a salty Scotch Ale from Belgium. Dark and sweet with a salty streak.

UPDATED: DEC 6, 2020 0.75 l bottle from 'Bierloods22', bottled in September 2020. Almost clear, very dark ruby with a large, foamy, stable, beige head. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity and a bit yeasty-spicy aroma of raisins, prunes, molasses and some clove. Gently sweet, malty, quite fruity and slightly yeasty-spicy taste of raisins, prunes, clove, some caramel and a touch of burnt sugar, followed by a short, moderately bitter, gently yeasty-spicy finish. Medium body, quite effervescent mouthfeel, average to lively carbonation. Pleasant beer, a genuinely Belgian-Style Scotch Ale with quite some yeasty notes, fits well into the winter season.

UPDATED: NOV 18, 2020 This is a really nice winter beer. Medium carbonation, great dense head. Medium to light with flavour. It's all there just not too intense. I'd buy again.

From - snifter Taste - weak malt, acidic tones, some Belgian yeast. Generally quite malty, bit acidic, and some alcohol backbone. Generally somewhat unimpressive, but not too bad.

UPDATED: JUL 3, 2020 Un scotch d'un rare équilibre. Nez et bouche qui apportent des notes maltées, chocolatées, tourbées, accompagnées d'une belle fraîcheur et longueur. La finale est toute aussi riche et harmonieuse. Un vrai plaisir de délicatesse, d'expression et de savoir-faire

UPDATED: MAY 8, 2020 (Bottle) Hazy brown colour with big, frothy, beige head (gushing out upon opening). Malty, spicy nose with caramel, dark rye bread, prunes, raisins, burnt sugar and Christmas spices (cinnamon, clove, nutmeg). Malty, spicy taste with notes of caramel, toffee, dark bread, brown sugar, cinnamon, prunes, raisins, julmust (Swedish Christmas softdrink), a touch of yeast and a mild spicy bitterness in the finish.
