leaparsons (4180), Leicester, Leicestershire, England Oct 21, 2008 Bottle. Amber with a small head. Aromas are sweet biscuit malts with crisp citrus, especially grapefruit. Some strange acidity. Flavours are sweet grain and citrus with a misplaced acidity on the finish. Still decent despite being a bit odd. Papsoe (11421), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 23, 2008 (Bottle 50 cl) Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a slightly hazy amber golden with a rough, off-white head. Oxidized aroma of sherry and overripe fruit. Medium body, the mouthfeel is soft and carbonation very low. Caramel and overripe fruit. Almost no bitterness. Nice. 160408 cellar (429), Dublin, Ireland Jul 1, 2008 Clear amber, short head, major notes of ripe fruit, malt, minor notes of yeast. Mainly sweet, litte bitter, warety aftertaste. hughie (2458), Bedford, Bedfordshire, England Jun 18, 2008 Gold. I get a little caramel in the aroma with some cardboard and metal to the forefront. Sweet, dusty, nutty taste, quite pleasing, despite the fizz. Slight bitterness. As it says on the label, ’Blar Allt a Bhain-Chniuc’, though I’m none the wiser. KimJohansen (5208), Copenhagen V, Denmark Apr 17, 2008 Hazy amber with tiny off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with honey an vinious notes. Sweet vinious flavor with caramel and malty notes.
