Copenhagen 22/11 2024. 50 cl bottle with a swing cap from Supermarco, Støbegodsvej, Kbh. SV. Drawing of a very grand, blonde lady on the label.
Pours clear golden amber with a mid-sized white head. Stable. Settles as a thin patch of foam unable of covering the surface of the beer. Moderate lacing.
Aroma is medium intense with a strong malty, almost sugary sweet odor tingling with a sharp scent of metallic alcohol. Sweet malts, white sugar, cardboard honey and syrup.
Medium strong carbonation. Slightly thick, oily, lively and tingling texture.
Flavor is moderately intense with a strong sweetness followed by a moderately strong bitterness. Aftertaste is thin and a bit sweet. Lingers shortly. Finish is sweet and boozy.
They call It a Strong Amber Ale on the label. That's about right.

Drunk at Totó Pizzeria in Algorta (Spain).
Deep copper and filtered, little fine bubbled carbonation, topped with a finger of beige head.
Cream caramel . A hint of banana and creme brûlée.
Creme brûlée, banana in the background like a banoffee pudding, light sweetness, a sort of burnt bitter finish.
Light for the style, but still a lightly syrupy feel, and little carbonation.
A nice brew.

May 2013: 500 ml swingtop bottle, kindly shared by Holmen1. ABV is 9%. Deep golden colour, moderate head. Strong sweetish and alcoholic malty aroma, hints of oak and fortified wine. Soft mouthfeel, low carbonation. Sweet (but not extremely sweet) flavour, malty, caramel, too moderate hops.

A nice brew, a lot like a barley wine in some ways in overall profile. Just a few flaws mentioned. Got and drank in Chiang Mai, June 24th, 2015.

Yow. This is not a good beer. Just about once removed from being malt liquor. Ew.
Pours clear orange in colour with a short head that immediately goes to just a ring. Some spotty lace. Very plain Jane.
Smells sweet, boozy and fruity. The fruit is probably the most interesting aspect of the beer, but pretty much as soon as it hits my nose I'm thinking. "Uh-oh."
Sweet to taste, lots of malt and what taste like corn. Beyond that, pretty much without character. Hardly even a hint of booze despite being 9%. Must be buried in the sugar.
And the coup de grace is that this not a single - it comes in a four pack. Not suitable for sharing (inflicting) on your friends unless they're simply looking for another notch in their beer belt. Give this one a wide pass.

Bottled and possibly bottle conditioned but its the full figured big buxomed Italian woman that attracts the eye
and that kind of its charm, solid ale that carries a not huge flavoured boozy strong beer that makes it decent and drinkable
