Nov 5, 2007 Updated: Mar 17, 2009Bottle (33 cl) from Ølbutikken, Copenhagen, Denmark. Cloudy reddish brown with a large and rich beige head. Fruity, slightly roasted, nutty, and caramelly malt aroma, complex, with notes of gunpowder, wood and yeast. Medium to full bodied with soft carbonation. Very well balanced with a dry and bitter finish.

Oct 27, 2007 Pours a beautiful cloudy dark amber color with ruby and brown highlights when held to a light source. There was a huge, two inch light beige, frothy head. As the head subsided, a quarter inch of lace hung around the head. The scent was of malt, apples, plums, honey, syrup and some sweetness. A nice sweet taste up front with malt, dried fruit, apples, vanilla and some caramel. A perfect mouthfeel and creamy finish. I was very impressed by this beer.

Oct 22, 2007 Cloudy, dark reddish brown body. Massive, densely packed, cream colored head with excellent retention. The foam lasts until the final sip. Sudsy lace coats the glass in vertical columns, only to slowly by absorbed back into the body like the ooze in a lava lamp. The aroma is a lovely blend of figs, darkly roasted caramel, brown sugar, dark fruits, cream, and hints of vodka. There’s a faint bit of root beer on the nose as well. The flavor shows sweet caramel and candy sugar up front, moving quickly to dark fruits and then a sour, funky yeast. The finish is long, mostly dry, and surprisingly sour. Creamy, medium-full body and mouthfeel. Sharply metallic when cold, this beer must be served just slightly chilled in order to fully appreciate all it has to offer. Very solid beer, though the finish disappoints a little.

Oct 16, 2007 Bottle, from the Oxford CAMRA beer festival. Deep caramel brown, a big tan cap of foam that settles into a dense, frosting-like layer that lasts the whole hour I took sipping through the glass. Initial sniff is a jangle of hot grass and sticky tropical flowers on wet decaying wood. Settles down a notch, and there is raw chocolate, the toasted sugar of creme brulee, with a high-frequency buzz that seems sometimes like vanilla, sometimes like alcohol, and if I hold the glass just right, Big Red® cinnamon gum. Chocolate flavor, or chocolate as it would be if chocolate had dry alcohol heat and a pinch of black pepper. Plums. Underlying viney wood character. Very delicate and drinkable. Wishing for another bottle...

Oct 15, 2007 Bottle picked up from Oxford Beer Festival 12-10-07 Pours a dark reddy/brown colour with fruity spicey aroma. Tastes glorious, a slight hint of sourness on the edge more than counteract the sweetness, the alcohol is there but never intrudes, wonderful dark fruits rush through with the spiciness again showing. Excellent.

Oct 13, 2007 Deep reddish brown pour, with large tan head. The nose is dark fruit with spice, and buttery vinous notes. The taste is very similar to the nose with a light warming from alcohol. A nice complex beer that I will drink again.
