May 5, 2009 Crazy pour, a little bit produced a huge head with a strong dusty old basement aroma. Not bad or off, just dry. Hazy caramel in the glass, pale blond head that did not want to settle down at all. More deep concentrated heavy and nearly syrupy malt, and that dense creamy head. There’s a lot of hops here, everything is amped to 200% across the board and there’s not much in the way of subtle. I like the beer for the consistency and intensity, but I don’t get much in the way of personal character. Maybe I saw the 100 and expected more.

Apr 30, 2009 To celebrate my 2600th rating. 22oz bottle @ VV tasting, Odense. Pours a dark unclear amber with a creamy white head and lacings. Nose is heavily hopped with lots of chewy malts. Filling, smooth and full bodied. Caramel, liquorice and hops. Simple, powerful and extremely well made.

Apr 28, 2009 Updated: Apr 29, 2009Bottle via Hophead22. Pours a dark (almost brown) amber with very thick qhite head that dissipates quickly. Aroma strong of floral and slightly citrus hops, alcohol, spice, yeast, and pine. Flavor is somewhat of a suprise, very complex similar to barley wines, but with it’s own character. All flavors in aroma present with a few extras of caramel, dried fruit, and malt. Mouthfeel is pleasant and slightly slick. Overall a very nice brew.

Apr 28, 2009 Bottle at Ølbaren, 28-APR-2009.
If all christmas beers could be like this!
Brownish with beige head.
Classic malty christmas ale topped with loads of hops.
A hoppy christmas ale. Actually somewhat baley wine’ish
Very creamy, and low carbonation.
What a treat. They beat the danish tradition.

Apr 25, 2009 First Alesmith beer that I have ever had! Dark caramel brown with a nice thick head sitting on top. This beer looks great. Nice malt and hop balance in the aroma. I am trying to think about if the hops or malts dominate, but there actually is a great balance. I can taste the alcohol. The beer has an average palate. Malty upfront, but hoppy in the end. This beer is slightly annoying due to the carbonation. Pretty good, if you ask me. The beer smells great, and looks great, but the flavors aren’t what I expected. The hop taste is great, and the malt taste is as well. Overall, a good beer.

Apr 25, 2009 Cloudy red amber with a lasting off-white head. Caramel aroma with vineous alcohol and American hops. Sweet and juicy clean flavour with some hot alcohol.

Apr 22, 2009 Flaske: Mørk orange uklar øl med en fin skumkrone. Bitter duft. Meget bitter smag på en maltbase der ikke helt kan hamle op med den, udmærket øl, men en tand ubalanceret.
