Style: Traditional Ale
Vejle, Denmark

[Sampled with the duo Svoger & Svogergylp at DØE, Valby, 2009.] As Bøgedal Nr. 0159. It seems that all my sundaynotes are of a higher value than all others. Why? I do not know, but I was very thirsty and two days of heavy tasting should maybe end up in another, but it didn’t. But Bøgedal is great and fantastic. Deep almost black with lightbrown head. Notes of roasted malt, chocolate all in an easy way, not like a stout, but more like an ESB. Good fat medium body and with lots of ingredients. Creamy and smoothy!

Bottle. Brown muddy body with a light brown head. Roasty aroma with light hoppy notes. Light roasty flavour. Some caramel. Bit weak and thin overall.

Botella as 159. Black colour, Roasty coffeee aroma. Flavour: roasted malt, coffee, some chocolate, pleasant sweet bitterness.

Bottle 75cl. @ home. [ As Bøgedal Nr. 0159 ].
Light unclear dark brown color with a small to average, frothy to creamy, fair lacing, mostly diminishing, beige head. Aroma is moderate malty, chocolate, coffee notes. Flavor is moderate to heavy sweet and light to moderate bitter with a long to average duration. Body is medium, texture is oily, carbonation is soft. [20090217]

75 cL bottle, as Bøgedal Nr. 0159. Pours thick, pitch black and with a dense chocolate brown head. Dry and roasted malty aroma. Roasted malt flavoured and distinct liqourice note. Subdued sweetness that goes into a mild acidic roasted flavour and somewhat hoppy bitter too. Mild fruity note from the hops as well. Starts somewhat brutal roasted and slowly unfolding several layers of hops and yeast notes. Ends dry and fruity, persisting roasted liqourice and mild chocolate touch.

Bottle as #60. Heavy hoppy and coffee aroma. Huge frothy, light brown head. Excellent lacing. Mostly lasting longevity. Clear, amber body. Moderate bitter flavor with a tast of chocolate. Full palate and creamy texture. ------ Bottle as #96. Aroma of bread. Cloudy dark body. Heavy bitter flavor, with along duration. Medium to full palate. Score = 3.2

75 cl bottle as #96, brewed and bottled in April 2007. 5.3% alcohol (yet strangely lumped together with its stronger sister #27 on Ratebeer). Pours almost black with a frothy light brown head that ends up as mere bubbles along the sides. Great coffee and chocolate aroma with vanilla and dark berries. Chocolate and berris flavours with some espresso dryness towards the finish. Rather soft and with medium body. A very good mild from Denmark.

Bottle. Medium high creamy and lasting light brown head. Hazy dark brown, almost black, body. Weak but spicy barley malt aroma. Although it is pretty mild (hard to believe it is 6.5%) it does have some bitterness plus a bit of coffee. Low carbonation and a long sweet coffee aftertaste. Feels sort of creamy.
