Copenhagen 22/122018. 75 cl bottle from Føtex. Jacobsens usual compact bottle and design. This time in Maroon. Apparently brewed with Hazelnut.

Pours hazy maroon with a red hue. Medium sized yellowish head. Settles as 1 cm thick layer of foam clinging to the sides of the glass. Moderate lacing.

Aroma is sweet and sugary with a prominent odor of nuts. Brown sugar, hazel nut, light odor of coffee and cocoa. A bit too sweet for my nose.

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

Flavor is heavy sweet followed by a very moderate bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet and lingers for a while. Avoids being cloying by a mule's hair.

Too sweet to be truly enjoyable. But they actually manages to create a presence of nuts.
