Bottle 50cl from Papsoe thanks a lot, a dark beer with good head and lacing. Nose is vinous, brown malt and spicy, very pleasant. Aroma is caramel and chocolate like, creamy, dense body, some oude bruin notes, a bit port like, sweet, licorice, oak, a very nice beer. Long dark chocolate finish.
1.7 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 2/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 2/5 OVERALL 6/20
Bottle from the brewery. Batch 57. Black-bodied with little to no head but lacing on the side of the glass. Aroma of burnt caramel albeit with a tone of malty bread. Taste is mostly dark sweetness on the tongue. Flat medium-bodied with an oily texture and a somewhat bitter finish. In my view this beer didn’t age too well - at least compared to the Brøckhouse of the same vintage.

500ml bottle, batch nr. 57, bought at Barley Wine in Copenhagen earlier this year (March). Fawn coloured head slowly fading over a deep, dark, rosewood body. Short-lived lacework on the glassware. Earthy malts to the nose added by a spiced chocolate touch. Flavour matches the aroma with chocolate malts, candy sweetness, orange hops and bittering spices towards the ending. Fine yuletide feel (Tromsø, 27.12.2010).

(bottle, vintage 2007, courtesy of Papsoe) Unclear, dark brown colour with a beige and massive foamy head. Sweet and slightly sugary dark and toasted malty aroma with notes of red berries and spices (cinnamon, cloves, lemon peel), accompanied by a light alcoholic touch. Sweet flavour, full bodied with a well-carbonated mouthfeel. Toast-malty taste with fruity accents and Christmas-spices; sweet full malty and spicy finish with a moderate but warming alcoholic touch. Deserves its name. 09.IX.08
