Copenhagen 27/2 2025. 44 cl can from Meny, Borups Allé. Frb. F. Simon Daugaard drawing of the Demon Barbason on the can. A gruesome creatures indeed.

Pours clear dark amber with a red hue an a small off-whirr head A bit bubbly, Disappears almost completely leaving only a small patch of foam unable of covering the surface of the beer. No lacing.

Aroma is fairly intense with a sugary, sweet odor of malts mingling with sweet alcohol. Browns sugar and dark fruits. Raisins and Plums. Sweet liqueur.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, soft, greasy, almost flat texture.

Flavor is medium intense with a strong sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet and Boozy. Lingering. Finish is sugary and laden with alcohol.

A sweet Beast.
