Formerly brewed at Bryggeriet Ølfabrikken (Gourmetbryggeriet)
Style: Brown Ale

Bottle. Sweet, weak raisin aroma. Dark roasted malts and nice pepperiness in the flavour along with nice dried fruits. Slight roastedness/bitterness in the aftertaste. Good balance between alcohol and sweetness. A very good example of a Belgian ale.

Jeg lod denne ligge halvandet år og modne, resultatet var uovertruffent. Den havde udviklet sig formidabelt, rom rosiner, kandis osv i et festfyrværkeri ned gennem svælget.

Pours very dark brown in colour with a large consistant head. Sweet aroma of malts, caramel, spices and chocolate. Chokolate, sweet malty, raisins, very tasty light portwine, caramel. Nice smooth.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a very thin tan head. The aroma is sweet yet lightly acidic at the same time with notes of berries, pine, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with a quite intense body hitting right away, though without giving away the 8% ABV, and then a complex mixture of wood, berries, caramel, and raisins kick in together with a slight tartness, leading to a dry woody finish.

Bottle. Pours very dark brown in colour with a large consistant head. Roasted and malty with some sweetness. Hints of bread and brown sugar, hops and raisins.

Bottle. Dark brown colour with a small beige head. Yeast, fruity, raisin, chocolate, spicy aroma and taste, sweet. Medium to full body with a sweet dry, fruity finish. Quit good!

Pours a dark brown with a tanned head. Somewhat portish, with a deep fruityness. Also notes of prunes and fresh spicyness. Heavy bodied and somewhat woody.

Mahogany brown with deep red tones. Head is off-white to brown - quite creamy. Yeasty aroma with caramel, toffee, some roasted tones and berries. Quite vinious and full. Plums, berries and quite a bit of toffe-like sweetness.
