3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
Thanks to Henrik for this bottle.
Sweet, tangy, sticky, this beer is nice to sit on a "cold" winter day in Southern California (65F/18C). It leaves a nice long warming feeling. It’s a murky brown pour, and just has a slightly different flavor.
3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20
(37,5 cl bottle; batch #247) Pours a clear brown with little, quickly receding tan head. Aroma has notes of port, alcohol with a hint sourness. Oily texture, full body, soft carbonation and a warming finish. Flavour is sweet and surprisingly harmonic although is more akin to drinking a glass of port or sherry than drinking beer. Notes of dark fruit.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Red-brown colored with vanishing head. Rich raisinny aroma with sweetness, thin alcohol and some grassy note, sugary one. Medium to full bodied. Flavor is also sweet with same raisin, little bit barley wineish tones here. Aftertaste has some herbal note with stronger alcohol.

Some alcohol as it warms. Flavours are very sweet. Dark fruits and plenty of malt. Some alcohol warmth on the finish. Slick fullish mouthfeel. Not much of the brett coming through.

From the Croatian RB Crew November 2011 tasting, courtesy of the ever generous Papsø, who gave Ogi and Maja the bottles we "missed" when they were in Denmark (enormous thanks!).
Poured a very, very dark misty amber body with a tiny off white head. Creamy, full nose, a blast of raisins from the barrel., light alcohol. Creamy malty taste, raisins, warming alcohol. Vague bitterness. DId I say raisins? Very very slightly medicinal, bit dusty, light orange. Hmm. I liked it!
