Commercial Description:
Near Ølfabrikken is a field with 1000 raspberry plants carrying a late sort of small and very flavorful raspberries. Once a year we pick the raspberries and throw them into a single brew. Due to The harvest 2005 was characterized by more rain and colder weather than usual, which meant than the berries was more tart than usual and even more complex in flavor. We decided that the base beer should be complex and sweet to match the berries. The resulting beer made from seven different malts, three different sugars, five different hops and a Belgian ale yeast provides a huge body and complexity matching the raspberries. Ølfabrikken Dekadence 2005 is of course unpasteurized, unfiltered and bottle conditioned like all of our beers.

Bottle:

Nice bordeaux red colour, but the head dissapears a little quick. The aroma is a huge amount of raspberries and an easy amount of alcohol. Nice balanced raspberry taste, not as obvious, undistinct or artificial as in many other fruit brews. Incredible hidden alcohol when thinking about it has an ABV of 13%. The alcohol makes the sourness more indistinct and contributes to a more natural raspberry taste. Not the best body for a 13% beer, but the best fruit beer I have had. Still not worth 96 kr, though. (about 17 $)

Bottle. A 13% fruit beer, among friends also known as "Date rape beer". Nice raspberry aroma, very powerful. Cloudy prune colour. Nice raspberry flavour, with berry bitterness. Nicely balanced. The beer seems to have a good alcohol balance, since I cannot taste the extreme level of alcohol.

Bottle. Light brown relatively small but lasting head. Hazy dark red body. Sweet and distinct raspberry aroma. Raspberry flavor of course but of raspberries both sweetness and a bit of dry bitterness. As far as I remember raspberries taste like that when they are very ripe and just before they rot. Not unpleasant though. Actually I think the high alcohol contents contribute to adding to the similarity to real raspberries.

Pours deep brown with almost no head. Rather heavy fruity aroma with a roasted malty note. Mostly sweet with an edvident alcohol tone that makes it remind me of some kind of fruit liquor. Flavor is sweet malt and raspberry again with a tone of alcohol that warms when it slides down. Spices and cake notes in there as well. Strange mouthfeel, first it is almost completely flat, second it has this dusty dryness that feels rugged on my tongue and kills the aftertaste. It almost feels like having dirt in your mouth. An interesting project, but the balance is just not there plus the alcohol is too evident. Probably one of the beers from Ølfabrikken I had expected the most from, but also the one that dissapointed me most.

(On tap) Slightly cloudy orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Extremely marked raspberry aroma. Quite full-bodied, sweet with extreme raspberry flavours. Tart, alcoholic with a fairly discreet bitterness. A very interesting fruit beer. 281006
