Thanks, Beerlando! Pours a cloudy amber. Aroma is dusty, bretty and woody. Flavors follow, with a hell of a flavor in the finish. I really enjoyed this one.

Bottle, bought @ Ølbutikken, Cph.
[my 5,300th rating]
Pours slightly muddy yellow-orange with a small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma has wood, sweet sticky malts, strawberries, port and viniousness. Light, prickly carbonation, great dry mouthfeel. Flavour is lightly tart, lots of oak, light flowery hops, sweet malts, some berries and green apple. Wonderful, long bitterness mixed with oaky tartness.

On tap at the brewery. Dark amber with white head. Nice dough hits you first in the aroma with some interesting mint that could be hops, very malty. Big malt push with light bourbon, pine hop, very interesting. Creamy full body . Awesome hopped up doppelbock and barrel actually helps.

ACBF 2008. This one was interesting. I liked it quite a bit. They did a good job of balancing the flavor of the doppelbock and the dry-hop addition, neither is overpowering, but the interplay is nice and enjoyable.

Blind tasting at Papsø’s
Cloudy orange color. Quite nice and dynamic aroma, hoppy, fruity, sour; cellar aroma. Medium mouthfeel, there is some astringent toffee flavor, strong hopping, woody, a bit sour, definitively astringent.

(Draught) Pours a lightly cloudy amber body with a small white head. Aroma of orange pulp, apple juice, light vanilla, apricot, and caramel. Flavor of vinous, wood, light sourness, banana, and toffee.

From bottle, blind #36. Pours cloudy orange with a small off-white head. Dry brett and light peachy aroma from a distance. Dry and peachy. Dry, hoppy and mild acidic base flavoured. Dry and slight sourish base flavour. Bitter and crisp hoppy too. Quite peachy. Lasting dry impression.
