Commercial Description:
The success of HOG HEAVEN and THE REVEREND clearly demonstrates that beer drinkers are willing to embrace "BIGGER" beers. In the fall of 2001, we decided that a lighter BIG BEER would complement its darker colored predecessors. Salvation has luscious apricot and peach aromas delicately interwoven with spicy suggestions of nutmeg and cinnamon. This heavenly soft, champagne-like elixir is cellarable for 3 years.

Golden with a medium white head. Nice wheaty vanilla and spice. Some grainy notes there too. Nice but a bit clean.

Crushed with Jakebra. Aight, golden ale? This in’t a golden. Almost barley wine tendencies. Very very sweet nose and the alcohol is apparent from the beginning. Very interesting brew, with some good and bad tendencies.

65 cl bottle at Skallerup Klit. Dark amber to brown color, disappering white head. Aroma is strong fruit and sweetness, hops and hints of alcohol. Flavor is very sweet with dried fruit and alcohol. Nice.

Pours golden hazy, beige head. Aroma, candi sugar and yeasty. Taste, malty, thick grainy notes and lots of alcohol with sweet honey. Some fruits (citrus). Overall sweet with a medium body and thick mouthfeel. Leaves a light apple/cider taste.

(Bottled, 0.65l) Hazy golden-amber with a small, lacy head. Aroma of grainy, sweetish malt, spices, yeast and berries. Sweet and cinnamon-spicy, grainy-malty flavor with berry hints and yeast. Without yeast the flavor is slightly rough with ashy hints, and a touch of alcohol. Medium to full body with soft carbonation. A bit too sweet and grainy, although better with yeast. The label is probably the most beautiful ever seen in a beer bottle, but the contents are merely average for a Belgian Strong ale.

Bottle. Pours clear gold with a white head. The aroma is sweet fruity with hops and peach. The flavor is sweet and yeasty with light hops and general fruity esters. Lightly dry finish. Pretty good.
