Ungstrup (11378), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 16, 2004 A red beer with a beutiful light brown head. The aroma is fantastic; berries, especially cowberries, hops, and spices. The flavor is like black currant juice - that gives You warmth, since the alcohol runs down Your cheeks. An excellent beer. Thanks to Mads Berg for sharing this one. omhper (10728), Stockholm, Sweden May 10, 2004 Bottled. Deep ruby, clear, small head. Big aromatic, vinous toffee aroma. Rich, soft maltiness. Sweet, but not disturbingly so. Almondy with a hint of licorice and some raisin. Thick, deep, syruy mouthfeel. Peppery hoppy finish. An enourmous, over-the-top ale that works well - at least in small amounts. This beer would do well from aging (and being available in smaller bottles). Papsoe (10386), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 17, 2006 (Bottle 35,5 cl) Vintage 2005. Clear, dark amber with a small, beige head. Vinous and very alcoholic nose. The body is extremely full and potent with an overwhelming sweetness and alcohol. Complex character but I simply cannot abstract from my immediate impression of this tasting like coughing syrup. There’s definitely some herbal, medicinal notes in there. Very hard to finish, but probably would be interesting to age. As it it right now it’s simply too much of many good things. 170106 Oakes (6979), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jan 6, 2008 Vanilla aroma accents. Big alcohol and lots of caramel, with some molasses. Big chewy body...but way too boozy. Fairly strong vanilla throughout. Dry, alcholic finish is about right - it’s a rough beer. yespr (6889), Copenhagen O, Denmark Oct 5, 2007 12 fl oz bottle, batch 3 - 2005. Pours amber with almost no head. Thick raisin aroma, dried fruit and quite strong. Malty, fruity and a whiff of liqourice. Sweet, very sweet indeed. Surpricingly wellbalanced. Although the alcohol is present and gives some warmth, it really doesn’t take over and leaves the feeling of a great brew.
