| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 4/10 | 4/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 10/20 | Jun 6, 2009 Bottle, batch 346/348, bought at Ølbutikken and shared with Skinnyviking. Dark amber hue with a filmy layer. Tart aroma with notes of yeast. Rounded flavour of fruity tartness, caramel malts and spices. Quite lively carbonation. Slow building and a bit heavy to drink. Average to my palate and rating (Copenhagen, 17.05.2009). MrBunn (1560), Western, Pennsylvania, USA
| 4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 4/5 | 8/10 | 4/5 | 16/20 | Jun 5, 2009 Bottle (batch 346/348). Pours a cola like color with a rootbeer head and thick aromas that I can pick up at a distance. Sweetness, earthiness and tartness/funk are all there... almost like brown sugar got left in a barn overnight. I really liked this one... it is fairly thin, but the barrel and funky yeast go nicely together and make this a perfect drink for summer. Kind of zesty and refreshing, while still being very interesting. golubj (1290), Sunnyvale, California, USA

Robustly carbonated, deep brown, beautiful microbubble head emerging as it settles. I can’t imagine how this one could have been closer to expectations given the brewery and description on the bottle. That distinctive apple-funky JP character throughout, with a nice oak-vanilla balance. Rather dark and sweet - caramel and brown sugar - for the style, not sure I’d really have called this as a Biere de Garde. Nice enough to drink, though, even if it is something of a mishmash.
