cellar (409), Dublin, Ireland Nov 17, 2008 Deep unclear reddish brown. Malty aroma of ripe fruit anb caramel. Some spices develops in mouth. Sweet flavour with some sour hint in finish. Well balanced. Papsoe (11030), Frederiksberg, Denmark Oct 12, 2008 (On tap) Hazy reddish brown with a small off-white head. Sweetish sherry aroma, woody with some alcohol in the nose. Quite full-bodied with fruit - both dried and overripe. Has some good aroma hops but also a lightly earthy edge. Subdued bitterness. 120908 Maria (4673), Thisted, Denmark Oct 5, 2008 EBF2008. It’s unclear, red mahogany with a creamy head. The aroma has notes of butterscotch, cheese and a little fruit. The flavour has sweetness, a nice hoppy bite with light notes of pine and dry citrus. I would have like a little more caramel. larsniclas (3037), Gothenburg, Sweden Oct 4, 2008 <i>Sampled at EBF08.</i>
Dark, hazy amber.
Vinous and malty with pretty much of alco-feel.
