Papsoe (9999), Frederiksberg, Denmark Nov 10, 2007 (Bottle 33 cl) Courtesy of Degarth. Clear, warm, orangey brown with a small, off-white head. Fat aroma of roasted malt and overripe fruit. Very solid body with plenty of roasted malt and overripe fruit. Also a distinctly warming alcohol. Subdued bitterness. A nice one indeed. 311007 Oakes (6853), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Feb 9, 2003 Deep reddish-brown; decent head; rich aroma like roast beef, rich munich malts, pecans, demerara, tobacco. Wonderful malt palate - demerara again, chewy earth, wood. Long, wonderful malt finish. Hint of alcohol. Damn Eggenberg rocks. yespr (6259), Copenhagen O, Denmark Nov 9, 2007 33 cL bottle. Pours hazzlenut brown, clear, with an amber hue and a lacing light brown head. Dried fruity and wineous aroma. Full bodied mouthfeel. Flavour is sweet and deep malty with notes of dried fruit, not overly sweet but with a slight acidity. Ends with a mild bitterness and a warming alcohol feeling. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 04/16/2003

argo0 (6167), Washington DC, USA Apr 30, 2003 Clear chestnut body with smallish beige head. Aroma is rich, moderately sweet, caramel, coffee, malty, earthy. Taste is sweet, toffee-coffee-caramel, malty, earthy, finishing with pleasant smokey alcohol burn/warming. Medium-full body, but still lighter than everything else about it would suggest. Easily my favorite of the Eggenbergs I've tried.
