Papsoe (9771), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 8, 2008 (Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of yespr with additional thanks to the lovely MiP who travelled wide and far to acquire this rare brew. Clear orangey brown with an off-white head. Somewhat unclean aroma of roasted malt. Medium body, a little hard roasted malt and bitter chocolate and a distinct tang of metal and blood. Very crude and brutal bitterness in the finish. An ugly one - sorry MiP, you really screwed up here. Thanks nonetheless. 050608 yespr (5582), Copenhagen O, Denmark Jun 8, 2008 33 cL clear bottle, thanks to MiP. Pours visible dark brown with a lacing and slight off-white head.
