Bottled - sampled January 2008. A hazy amber beer with a thin lazing beige head. The aroma is metalic and oxidixed combined with a slightly acidic bret note - I don’t think it is unpurpose, but it’s not bad. The flavor is sweet and oxydixed in a nice way and again with a note of bret.

(Bottle 27,5 cl) Courtesy of kramer17801. Slightly hazy, amber golden with a small, off-white head. Intense aroma of overripe fruit and sherry. Medium body with absolutely no carbonation. Fruity, oxidized sherry flavours with a vague, underlying tartness. The hops are almost missing in the finish. Quite complex and interesting. 120108

27.5 cL bottle. Pours slight hazy orange with fully diminished white head. Dark and dry raisin like aroma. Flavour is acidic lending itself into a slight citric note. Oldish dark fruity malt. Dark flavours. Ends with a dry almost woody note and a dry raisin note. Great aroma, strange flavour and palate, typical Gales which I find it hard to adjust to.

Brown coloured. Raisin sweet. Remarkably thin (for being 10.0%) with big alcoholic punch. Only lightly hopped.

Similar to the POA in its rich fruitiness, smooth malt palate, silky finish and undeniable complexity.

A rare beer brought by Laurent Mousson, 7 years old, in the classic Gale’s corked bottle
Brown color; almost flat. Wood, cask, cork, caramel aroma, too much alcohol. A bit thin; Madeira character, very complex and peculiar, but also too much alcoholic.

[1997 vintage - bottle @ Papsoe] Amber with tiny head. Viniuos aroma with port and bourbon notes. Vinous complex flavor with dominant alcohol note, prunes and bourbon.
