Papsoe (9999), Frederiksberg, Denmark Mar 10, 2006 (Bottle 33 cl) Semi-aged sample - bottled in July 2003. Pours a clear, warm mahogany with a reddish hue and a neat, beige head. Actually a surprisingly light body. Very vinous accents - balsamico - reminding me mostly of a Flemish Sour, albeit some lightly burned notes of malt appear in the finish. According to the label it’s meant for cellaring, but I doubt if the acidity is intentional. But generally I find it very lovely. Thanks to Bov for this. 100306 joss (3117), Garching b. München, Germany Feb 10, 2005 Sampled at the RBESP 2004
Cognac chocolate nose.

Lightish body. Oakes (6853), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Aug 11, 2004 Toffee brown colour with haze. Toffee aroma with a hint of liquorice. Rich, slightly smokey toffee malt flavour. rickgordon (3060), Göteborg, Sweden Aug 8, 2004 Bottled.
Dark brown, tan head. A little phenolic along with quite some roasted malt. Chocolate notes, and a little vineous. A bit stale bitterness in the finish.
Nate (2234), Indiana, Pennsylvania, USA Jul 28, 2004 Malty deep aroma, prune, acid, herbal notes. Chocolate. Dark brown-black with tan head. Watery with medium carbonatio. Starts tat, vinuous, with prune raisin tart. Tobacco and tart finish. Dry chalky bitter after. Decent, but a little eccentric.
