Copenhagen 18/12 2018. 33 cl bottle from Vinbørsen. Apparantly part of an “Danish Imperial Series”. Drawing of Svend Tveskæg on the label.

Pours hazy amber with small white head. Settles as thin, patchy layer of foam unable to cover the surface of the beer. No Lacing.

Aroma is dark, sweet and strong. Fermented Plum, brown sugar, caramel and Tobacco. Prominent presence of alcohol.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, oily texture. A little sticky.

Flavor is heavy sweet. Not much bitterness present. Aftertaste is sweet bordering on being sugary. Lingers for a while.

Very sweet but managing to camouflage an impressive ABV and not being too heavy.
