Nov 17, 2007 The unique aromas and flavors of this beer are so complex that it is overwhelming to attempt a verbal description. This was a very special experience that every beer drinker should be so lucky to have. It if weren’t prohibitively expensive it would probably be the most talked about beer in the world.

Nov 12, 2007 Complex aroma that rates higher than my olfactory skills could process, being as drunk as i was. Pours a cloudy orange-golden, frothy head. Sweet and strong. Dry alcohol finish.

Nov 12, 2007 Updated: Jan 23, 2008I would have rated this brew even higher, but for the $50 price tag. Ouch!
Definitely a "sipping" beer (13% abv, with the fizziness to boot), with sweet notes. It pours a nice fizzy head that dies away fairly soon. The nose bursts with grass, hay, coriander, brown sugar, the ocean, and wet moss. It is sweet yet smooth, with a finish like cognac or brandy. Definitely an aperitif beer.

Oct 29, 2007 Updated: Mar 29, 2008Beware. When this bottle is opened it jizzes everywhere for about two minutes. Pours a hazy dark orange with a light tan head that sticks around for awhile. Also has sediment floating around in it. OK flavor with a fruity taste and a bread taste too. Drank this out of a tumbler. Not worth $40 a bottle.

Oct 29, 2007 Updated: Feb 2, 2009WOW!!! This cost me $40 but it was worth it. It has a great head with a hazy gold body. The sedement is through out. The taste is amazing but the after taste is alluring.

Oct 20, 2007 Sampled with KieferUGA at the WBF in Durham a few weeks back. Was excited to try this, due to it being too expensive to buy normally. Forget what vintage it was; a few years back. Was profoundly disappointed, maybe it was aged too long. Flavor of fruit, alcohol, citrus and oak. Palate wasn’t great and it had a lot of carbonation. Hopefully I get to rerate at some point.

Oct 20, 2007 [Odense-tasting at Scheffel. Bottle from Finn Planøkonom bought in BeerMania, Bruxelles.]
Have waited 1½ year to open this bottle.
Hazymuddy deep orange with bubbling white head and a nice complex aroma of oak perfumed alcohol (in a good way), vanilla, great mix of sweet and sourness. Aroma not as intense as expected, but the flavor took over with better notes of similar observations added with yeasty fruits, hints of sherry, spices (coriander) ending up in a dry end. Very smooth in its character despite its high ABV and indeed a worldtop classbeer. Nice to know that I have another one in my cellar!

Oct 7, 2007 WBF. Got to try this several times. Pours a hazy amber with sediment. Nice thick head. Nice sweet aroma, vanilla, sour whiskey. The flavor is sweet, strong alcohol, sour whiskey, vanilla.
