Papsoe (10517), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 23, 2008 (Bottle 37,5 cl) Courtesy of WeeHeavySD/toncatcher. Hazy dark orangey brown with a bubbly and lively off-white head leaving laces. Distinct aroma of sweet bourbon and vanilla. Medium body with overripe fruit, roasted malt, caramel and again sweet bourbon and vanilla. The alcohol only really shows in the finish. 190608 Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA May 5, 2008 Dark brown colour. Plummy, slightly smokey with hints of wood. A little bit spritzy (subsequent samples were not, ftr). Spicy, with a bit of alcohol burn. Well-rounded. Three recent resamples have revealed some wonderfully rich malts, and a well-integrated bourbon accent. yespr (6943), Copenhagen O, Denmark Jun 22, 2008 Bottle. Papsoes MadsBerg homecoming blindtasting, bottle #15. Pours hazy dark brown with a lacing tan head. Solid barrel and roasted malt aroma, quite dark and almost black. Flavour is solid bourbon barrel-ish, roasted malt and dark fruits. Mild vanilla note too. Holds quite some sweetness. Light orange fruity and citric note too. Dense chocolate smooth malt. Light fruity touch towards the finish. Ends smooth, roasted and with a mild and slowly declining barrel vanilla finish. joergen (6529), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 23, 2008 Botte #15 at Papsoes blindtasting.
Dark brown coloured with a medium sized lacing beige head.
Sweet aroma of wood, vanilla, dried fruits and bourbon whisky with roasted notes and notes of chocolate.
Sweet and roasted flavour of wood, vanilla and dried fruits with notes of chocolate and liquorice.
Roasted and warming alcoholic finish. oh6gdx (6343), Vaasa, Finland Aug 22, 2008 Cask@GBBF2008. Very dark brown colour, close to black, small beigeish brown head, which disappeared quite fast. Wow, so where do I begin? Aroma is raisins and sweet wood along with some vanilla at the first breath-in. The following ones bring a lot of stuff, mild notes of alcohol and chocolate, some slight madeiraish sweetness along with fruityness. Some sweetish sour notes of old coffee. Flavour is about as comples, or maybe even more so. The evident notes are wood, sweet fruits and some spices. All this mixed in with a warming touch of alcohol and some slight notes of smoked wood. Long sweetish caramelly and wooden aftertaste in this beauty. This was beer was a real mindblower, and if the various parts of the mouth picking up flavours could get orgasms, this beer would probably be the one doing it...
