[thank you, TimE]
Pours deep brown with a small, lacing, off-white head. Aroma is great, quite vinious and malty. Some caramel and quite a good deal of hops. Mouthfeel is quite frothy and quite lively. Flavour is nicely malty, some overripe fruits and powerfully vinious. Feels a tad unbalanced. Papsoe (10285), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 30, 2008 (Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of fiulijn. Slightly hazy orangey brown with a rough off-white head. Fat aroma of overripe fruit and burned caramel. Quite full-bodied with fat notes of malt and burned caramel and a bitter, hoppy finish. A little unrefined but still very decent. 100908 yespr (6889), Copenhagen O, Denmark Sep 17, 2008 50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a lacing white head. Dark fruity and malty aroma. Liqourice and malty initial flavour. Medium sweet and roasted with a growing bitterness into the finish. Smooth and yet with a bite from the hops. KimJohansen (4285), Copenhagen V, Denmark Sep 11, 2008 Hazy dark amber with medium beige head. Sweet aroma with toasted malt, caramel and hoppy notes. Sweet flavour with toasted malt, caramel and hops and piney notes. Ends bitter.
