Ungstrup (22904) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 12, 2008
Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thick light tan head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of dusty hops and over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet malty again with notes of over ripe fruits and dusty hops. Thanks yespr for sharing.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - JUL 22, 2005
(Bottle 75 cl) This version from "Brasserie Duwac" in Mouscron. A beer brewed in celebration of Jacques Brel? Amber coloured with a huge but collapsing head leaving to traces. Flavour of caramel and some candi sugar. But certainly not a great beer. 310799

oh6gdx (15509) - Vasa, FINLAND - FEB 3, 2008
Bottled (by Duwac, BBE 09/04...), bought from BelgianShop.com in Jan 2008. Hazy brown colour with big beige fluffy head. Leaves some lace. Aroma is yeast, raisins, some toffee and some notes of mild oxidation (probably due to being this old). Flavour is caramel malts, toffee, yeast and some mild dark dry fruits. No notes of oxidation in the flavour. Dry palate.

TBone (9096) - Pori, FINLAND - JUN 22, 2005
Bottled (BBE 09/2004)
Hazy dark amber, small off-white head. Dark burnt malty, plums and alcoholic flavor. Roasted malty flavor, chestnuts. Hoppy bitterness and coffee in the finish. Quite alcoholic too for only 6.2% beer.

yngwie (8702) - Kristiansand, NORWAY - APR 23, 2008
Bottle, thx to thewolf. Pours a hazy, orange-brown with lots of floaties of all sizes, from the tinyest small to big chunks. Beige head leaving nice lacings. Malty-sweet flavor with fruityness and some pale malt. Fruity, caramel flavor with some hoppy bitterness and a little spiced touch. Quite dry. Fruity and slightly caramel-sweet finish. Decent beer, but far from impressing. (080301)
