Ungstrup (11378), Frederiksberg, Denmark Apr 24, 2006 An amber beer with a thin orange head. The aroma is sweet with very strong notes of caramel, but also lesser notes of alcohol and cardemmome. The flavor is very sweet with a good hop presence as well as strong notes of both cardemmome and cinnamon, leading to a dry spiced and alcohol end. The mouthfeel is thick like drinking syrup. Thanks to Papsø for sharing this gem - sure hope it arrives in Denmark soon. omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden Sep 24, 2005 Bottled. Clear reddish amber. Rich port-like oak character. Sweet, thick, vinous and extremely malty. Despite exessive sweetness and syrupy mouthfeel I thoroughly enjoy the rich port character. Nowhere near balanced, but the flavours are impossible to resist. By far the best new Avery beer I’ve had in years. Papsoe (10367), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 6, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Pours a clear, dark amber with a creamy, yellowish beige head. Very vinous aroma with distinct oak. Extremely full-bodied, extremely sweet - almost achingly sugary. Lots of fruit - apricot. Very complex, but simply way to sweet and sticky to score a higher rating from me. 220406 Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jan 6, 2008 Golden-amber colour. Strong plasticy alcohol nose. Very candyish...even a hint of raspberry in there amidst the icing sugar sweetness and copious booze. Far too sweet for me. yespr (6889), Copenhagen O, Denmark Feb 12, 2008 12 fl oz bottle. Pours hazy amber with a little off-white to tan head. Dried fruity berry aroma, light wineous, light vanilla. Flavour is dried and cellared wineous with a very solid berry fruity note. Dried fruity with a hint of wood and vanilla. Solid wineous and woody finish. Ends vanilla smooth woody.
