Ungstrup (11031), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 2, 2006 A pitch brown beer with a fast disappearing brown head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of both chocolate and caramel, but also hints of the alcohol showing off. The flavor is sweet malty combined with notes of stored fruits, and light notes of roasted malt and alcohol. Papsoe (9980), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 7, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Clear, orangey brown with a lightly creamy, beige head. Alomost vinous, roasted malt aroma. Medium body with dark, roasted malty accents. Almost a bit coffeeish without ever being overly burned or bitter. 290806 Oakes (6819), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Sep 16, 2007 Dark brown, hazy. The aroma is coffeeish and fudgey with demerara notes, molasses and a wood hop background. Rich hoppy-roasty flavours with burnt toast accents. Finishes with an intense molasses sweetness. I’m glad I had the chance to revisit this brew. kp (6200), Woodstock, Georgia, USA Sep 1, 2007 Date: 04/06/2007
