Ungstrup (10432), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 11, 2004 A hazy brown beer with a light brown head. The aroma is sweet with notes of nuts, prunes, alcohol, and wood. The flavor is dry woody with notes of prunes and plums before a very hoppy and malt dry end sets in. A wonderful flavor. omhper (9704), Stockholm, Sweden Oct 22, 2004 Bottled. Muddy dark brown. Cherry liqueur aroma. Intensely roasty with lively mouthfeel. Notes of berries and coffee - this is chocolate covered strawberries with champagne! Oaky bière de garde-like lively finish. A complex and very interesting beer. Papsoe (9242), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 14, 2007 (Bottle 75 cl) Pours a slightly hazy, reddish amber with a creamy, off-white head. Fairly complex aroma of yeast, overripe fruit and diacetyl. Full-bodied with fruity notes, sherry-like and again some diacetyl. Almost no bitterness. Interesting. 080107 Oakes (6556), Miami Beach, Canada Jul 8, 2003 Updated: Dec 1, 2003White label 2003 edition. Bright golden brown; aroma of plum, candy and banana.
