| 2.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 5/10 | 3/5 | 4/10 | 3/5 | 11/20 | Dec 15, 2006 Not too bad, a little thin for my tastes, but OK. This has a some pine flavors mixed in with the maltiness and nuttiness. Carbonation is rather high, there really needs to be more alch in this beer..... Papsoe (14996), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.2 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 6/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 12/20 | Dec 7, 2006 (Bottle 65 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear mahogany with a reddish tint and an off-white head. Lightly nutty aroma. Fairly light body with hard roasted, malty notes ending rather bitter. Starts rather anonymous but does develop some sort of personality. 011206 MattHimself (7), USA does not count | 4.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 5/5 | 9/10 | 4/5 | 20/20 | Dec 6, 2006 Had this on tap in Kennebunkport, ME at the Federal Jack’s bar. It looks very dark, and while they label it as a cross between a scotch ale and a porter, I lean towards the porter. The scent is of coffee, maybe raisins, and a faint chocolatey undertone. The mouth feel is thick, much like a porter or even a stout. The flavor is almost sweet and fruity in my mouth, almost like a summer fruit flavor. I always feel I can taste a hint of peach. However, the aftertaste is of a nice winter porter. Rich coffee and chocolate maltiness fills the mouth. This beer really seems to feel like several different styles, taking the best qualities from each. Definitely the best Shipyard beer in thats avalliable each year! Emil (6074), Copenhagen, Denmark
