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.

En fantastisk øl med en meget kraftig smag af bær. Alkoholen overvælder aldrig den delikate aroma, hvilket er imponerende hvis man tager procenten i betragtning.

I am rating out of order so I can enter something cool for #2000. This beer has an excellent fruit aroma. Rather than raspberry, I smell cherry and grape. A beer with little to no carbonation. Light red color. A thick, full palate and good for slow sipping. I had no idea the abv was so high as it is expertly hidden by the complex flavor which is just a little sour, but also has minimally sweet, dry malt. Some sugar, as well as earth. Oak in the finish. Thanks to Brewfiend for sharing.

Served at copenhagen beer festival 2007, so i guess it was a new version, but couldnt find it on the list. I’ve really come to love these tart/acidic fruit brews, and this one is in the top. The strong rasberry and anis nose with added sugar reminded me of "the king of denmark" bonbons. The alchohol is noticeable in the aroma aswell. Remarkable acidic flavor with a nice bitter finish, love this one.

Red mahogany with no head. Aroma is very sweet with apparant alcohol. Some raspberries here as well. Taste has raspberries as well as some cherries. Stunning taste that hides the heavy level of alcohol.

Many thanks to yesper for this bottle. Solid malty nose with sweet fruit undercurrent. Murky brown color. Cherry, grape and faint raspberry in the body. Smooth finish. Not what I was expecting, but excellent nonetheless.

Rate from Oct 2007 [Bottle] Thanks to BDR for sharing. The beer was murky brown with light tan head. In the aroma there was cherries and raspberries. In the flavor there was cherries and raspberries and something else... The alcohol was well hidden. Smooth tart acidic finish. Much better than anything from New Glarus.

Deep brown body. Fizzy, swiftly diminishing (brown) head. Aroma of raspberries, caramel malts. Very well balanced between the malts and the raspberries. Moderately bitter, lightly sweet flavour of malts with again hints of raspberries. Great!
