COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
For 14 wonderful years, we have been creating libations for ourselves in the hope that some others out there would share our eccentric palates and support us. Many thanks to all of you who do! Here is yet another quirky brew: a very dark and different, dry-hopped ale. Style? hard to say, you decide. Just expect massive molasses maltiness, limitless fruits on the nose and an imposing floral & zesty dry-hop finish. Peace to all and follow your dreams!

Bottle. A very dark brown beer with a red shine and a big beige head. The aroma is light yeasty, roasted, caramel malt, fruity, hoppy and light alcoholic. The taste is yeasty, light roasted, fruity, sugary and hoppy. Medium body with a sweet dry, light alcoholic finish. Quit interresting and good!

bleeng (1085) - Huntsville nowhere near Beersel, Alabama, USA - AUG 17, 2007

Pours thick, like motor oil in January. Opaque black with a thick tan head with medium legs. Nose of hops and chocolate. This thing look delicious just pouring....tastes of hops and choc but subdued by the body of malts and spices. A bit of alcohol on the taste but just a perfect amount. Smooth mouth and swallow with a wonderful, almost gooey thickness on the way down. This is a wonderful beer. It reminds me of the Collaboration. Will it cellar????

Papsoe (21782) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - AUG 16, 2007

(Bottle 65 cl) Courtesy of boboski. Pours a beautiful, warm chestnut brown with a tint of red and a dense, beige head leaving some laces. The aroma is rich with sweetish, burned caramel. Quite a full body with about a ton of roasted malt and and again these accents of sweetish, burned caramel. Solid if not exactly overwhelming bitterness. 150807

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20

fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - AUG 15, 2007

Dark brown color; creamy head. Nice aroma, not too strong, balanced, perfumy, where some nice hop preveals over the sweet caramel; in a short while the hop increases. Medium thick mouthfeel, quite oily, with strong malt/caramel flavor, some sugars, just balanced by an equally strong hopping. The final is less hop-aromatic than expected, maybe even less long (or is it the caramel to be too much?). But very good indeed (hedonistic).

barleyPops (1136) - Quad-Cities, Illinois, USA - AUG 15, 2007

bomber shared by illini08, thanks. dark brown pour with a khaki head and some decent lasting lace. spicy fruit and molasses aroma leads to a flavor of some roasted notes, rich molasses and caramel, dried fruits and spice. interesting and enjoyable.

AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20

marcus (3776) - Sacramento, California, USA - AUG 15, 2007

This dark brown ale poured with a modest beige head, eliciting an aroma of salt, celery and wood. The flavor is hoppy and malty, but more bitter than sweet, or is it more sweet than bitter? - hard to tell. There is a carbonated mouthfeel, an alcohol bite and a rather harsh peppery finish.
