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!

Papsoe (21781) - 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

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - AUG 31, 2007

Bottled at RBESG ’07. Clear dark brown. Cinnamon and grapefruit aroma. Sweet and solidly malty with full body. Salty and very hoppy. Intensely flavourful and with in your face bolf flavours that leaves no doubt it’s an American beer.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - MAY 10, 2010

Bottled. Quite much black colour with a mediumsized beigeish brown head that leaves some lace. Aroma is coffee, chocolate, mild spices, some quite strong notes of hops, but yet quite hidden in it all. Flavour is chocolate, coffee, some caramel malts, mild alcohol as well as some mild spices. Quite bitter in the finish. Strong flavourbomb, but still rather balanced and nice.
