Commercial Description:
"Do you know what dwells in a glass?" asks Ole, in Hans Christian Andersen's The Watchman of the Tower. Better known for stories such as The Little Mermaid, Andersen wrote this short, cautionary tale for a somewhat older audience. Our quadrupel ale, also meant for the mature connoisseur, is a deep and mysterious libation, dark auburn and full-bodied, its sweetness deceptive.

Bottled. A hazy amber beer with a thin tan head. The aroma is sweet maty with notes of over ripe fruits and spices as well as lighter notes of yeast. The flavor is sweet malty with notes of malt, caramel, spices, and yeast - especially cloves. Thanks Storm for sharing.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Pours a slightly hazy, orangey brown with a rough, bubbly, off-white head that fades rather fast. Fat aroma of caramel - burned caramel - and some yeast. Quite full-bodied with sweetish, burned caramel and lots of fruit - overripe fruit in particular. Rather warming alcohol finish. Starts rather timid but really grows on your palate. 110108

75 cL bottle. Pours hazy brown with a reddish hue. Dense white head. Light spiced and light yeasty aroma. Flavour is mild malty, slight yeasty and spiced. Finish is spiced and holds a nice acidity to the sweet ad spiced flavours. Nice.

Bottle. Cloudy orange red coloured with a huge beige head. Sweet and spicy aroma of fruits, yeast and caramel with notes of wood. Swete and spicy flavour of caramel, liquorice, fruits and alcohol. Warming alcoholic finish.
