Copenhagen 4/1 2020. 50 cl bottle from Bornholmerbutikken, Torvehallerne, Kbh. K. Small Batch’s usual design with the hop-flower in two shades of brown.

Pours unclear maroon with a medium-sized off-white head. Settles as 2 cm thick layer of dense and fluffy foam covering the surface of the beer. Crawling up the sides of the glass. Substantial lacing.

Aroma is medium-intense, sweet with a light roast and spiciness. Caramel, toffee and brown sugar. Lightly roasted dark malts. Light spiciness. Thyme and pepper.

Light carbonation. Slightly thick, soft, a bit creamy texture.

Flavor has a strong sweetness followed by a medium strong bitterness. Aftertaste is bitter with a light sweet undercurrent. Lingers for a while.

Good well-balanced brown ale emulating the English style of brown ale. Not adventurous but solid.
