Ceres - Strong Ale Export

Strong Ale is brewed at Ceres Bryggerierne in Denmark. Strong Ale has a distinct vinous character. However, it is not a heavy beer since raw grain (maize) has been used to soften the taste. Drink chilled, preferably in large, stemmed glasses. Why not serve it with a steak instead of a glass of red wine?  I had this brew in Sicily 2009, it was a warm day and went down very well.

The ABV is 7.7 and the IBU rating is ??
Style - Euro Strong Lager
Glass to use- Flute, Pilsener Glass
Delivery 330ml Bottle

Can be cellared for long periods, under the proper conditions.

The Pour - Pour amber color with a big head that hangs around. Good lacing.
Aroma - Malts.
Taste - Some hops and strong. 
Mouth Feel - Well carbonation, medium body.  
Drinkable - Pretty good on a nice spring day and just leaving a dry country.

This beer pairs well with Mediterranean food, cheese and meat. - I had it with a slice of Sicilian pizza.
