Papsoe (22946) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - APR 16, 2011
Bottle 75 cl. Courtesy of fonefan. Pours a clear warm amber with a creamy beige head. The nose is delicious and intense dark honey - very sophisticated. Solid body, very sweet caramellish maltiness with lovely and delicate honey notes, brown sugarish. Very fruity. The pronounced sweetness may become a little much but this is a very sophisticated honey beer. 160411

yngwie (9175) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - APR 16, 2011
Bottle, 75cl corked, courtesy of fonefan. An almost clear one, dark copper colored beer with a dense, off-white to beige head. Soapy, flowery honey aroma with something woody. Caramel and a spiced touch as well. The aroma smoothens out after some time in the glass, it’s pretty intense at first. The flavor is sweet and honeyish, with flowers, some bitterness and a herbal touch, finishing sweet, bitter and honeyish. A bit too alcoholic all the way, but it suits the beer quite well. A very strange beer that I like really well after the initial intense aroma had smoothened. 110416

Bottle @ Ulfborg Easter Tasting, 2011. Pours dark unclear brown with a small creamy white head on top. Nose is sweet honey , candy and sugar. Sweet and cloying. Not bad, just sweet and one dimensional. Honey is not a fav.
