Valley Brew Effinguud

Bottle at Papsø. Hazy brown coloured with a small off white head. Light acidic aroma of wood, sherry, vanilla and red wine. Light aicidc flavour of vanilla, red wine, wood and rubber. Tart finish.

Bottled. An unclear amber beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet malty with sour notes of lacto, fruit, and brettanomyces. The flavor is sweet and acicid with strong notes of over ripe berries and grapes, as well as medium notes of brettanomyces, leading to a tart fruity finish. Thanks Steve for this.

Bottled. Deep dark amber coloured. No head. Fruits, mildly sourness, vanilla, wood and berries in the aroma. Flavour of wood, vanilla, sourness berries, light caramel and light brett. Medium bodied. Dry. Sourish berry end. Refreshing and easy to drink.

22 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy dark orange to brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is wineous and mild sour, roasted malt note. Wineous, fruity and wooden flavoured. Bitter. Smooth fruity and lingering mild wooden, wineous to sourish finish. Nice one.

Cloudy brown color; no head. The aroma shows some fruity and sour side, with light vanilla oak too. Medium body strength, actually a bit light at the end, with a nice vanilla oak to cover the caramel flavor. It also has some alcohol punch. It’s a bit confusing, but not bad.

Bottle 65 cl. Pours a murky and opaque orangey brown with prety much no head. Lovely oak aroma, also somewhat vinous. Quite full-bodied, low in carbonation, sweet caramel, fruit and LOADS of oak. No real bitterness but a vague underlying tartness. Very yummy. 220909

Poured a brownish red color. Aroma was really nice, wine, oak, and some fruit. Taste was quite a bit sharper than the nose, oak, wine, with a bitter sour punch, more red fruits and some caramel. I’m a sucker for wine barrel beers, and this was a cool one.

On tap at the brewery, poured a deep prune color with no head. Rich, complex nose with oak, Port, funk and fruits. Flavor was the same, with a bit o’ heat. Nice smooth finish.
