Ohhh thisa a nicea beer! thewolf (3631), Kolding, Denmark Feb 25, 2008 Bottle @ Yespr tasting. [thank you, omhper]
Pours a muddy red with a small creamy beige head. Super aroma. Port, caramel, very deep (over)ripe fruits, light tobacco leaves and light viniousness. Super creamy and oily mouthfeel. Flavour is despicably well-rounded with ripe fruits, chocolate, viniousness and tobacco. I find it amazing that a cellaring brew like this encompasses the high alcohol percentage so damn well.
