250 ml bottle courtesy of Marsiblursi. Pours dark reddish brown with a small hazel brown head that leaves tiny trace on the glass while slowly dissipating. Smell is sweet with wood, vanilla, hazel, sweet fruits, fudge and alcohol. Taste is sweet, slightly bitter and slightly sour with wood, vanilla, caramel, lemon peal, resin and bourbon. Mouthfeel is sticky sweet and slightly tart. Finish is rather dry and slightly bitter. Had hints of oxidation so bottle was probably after its prime but it had held up much better than the regular Kølle we had.

(Bottle) Pours dark brown with a sand colored head. The aroma holds buttery/spicy/mild vanilla/coconut milk-ish bourbon up front with undertones of caramel, bread, cookies, honey, resin, citrus/lemon, light earth and crisp bread. The flavour near medium sweet, medium to heavily sweet and light acidic. Bourbon/oak, citric/resinous hops, oxidation and simple malt. The mouthfeel round and tart with light carbonation. Butter oak, citric/woodsy hops and simple malt on the finish. Medium bodied.

Flaske 0,25l fra Ølbutikken, København. Dyp amber. Høyt farget skum som varer lenge. Litt fester seg til glasset. Søt plommearoma. Smaken har eikepreg. Blir mer og mer syrlig. Tungt fruktig preg. En sitter igjen med en veldig tung syrlig bitter ettersmak som varer lenge. Litt sedimenter.

bottle. deep ruby/brown, small off-white head,Aroma: loads of malt, caramel, vanilla, oak, very fruity, strawberries, and dried fruits, dusty hops, faint peach, dusty, wow all of a sudden the aroma is SO fruity! raspberries, strawberries, red berries, but also slight minerally, like childrens fruit vitamin pills, Taste is quite malty, bready, some grassy notes, dusty hops, fruitiness, quite bitter, dry, oak, wood, minerally, red berries, a bit cheesy like blue cheese, some warmth from the alcohol, a bit weird, but I like!

Surprisingly lots of foam and CO2 for a oak-aged and past-BBE beer. Rather weird aroma with glue, solvent-like alcohol and berries. Flavour has dark, very mature fruits and berries, some glue, warming and burning alcohol. Feels a lot like liquor or cognag. Weird but kind of interesting.

250 ml bottle. BBE 15.9.2010.
Pours a dark reddish brown colour with a thick white head. Aroma of strong sweet berries, oak, bourbon and solvent-like alcohol. Flavour of strong caramel malts, sweet berries, oak, bourbon and solvent-like alcohol. Medium bodied, very smooth mouthfeel and a pretty extreme mouth-drying finish with loads of ripe fruits and berries, but on the other hand solvent-like alcohol. Maybe this has seen it’s best days.

Bottle. Very dar, almost black, beige head. Fruity aroma, oak, vanilla, woody, whisky, a lil sourish. Vanilla flavor, oaky, sourish, sweet fruits, hoppy and smoky notes. Nice malt finish that gets alittle dry.
