 plovmand (827), Helsinge, Denmark

yngwie (3893), Kristiansand, Norway
Dec 31, 2008 Bottle, kindly provided by the brewer. A clear, amber to copper beer with a nice off-white head. Beefstock, pinecones, resin and alcohol in the aroma. Quite hoppy for a doppelbock, but pleasant. Malty and hoppy flavors blends nicely, giving beefstock, some sweetness, pinecones, resin and a fine bitterness. Finishes in the same way. Fullbodied. A quite nice one, not spot on the style, but a nice twist. (081003)

Oct 9, 2008 Draught @ EBF. Red copper, small pale head. Brewing mash, toasty aroma, little rust and hops, feels all autumn. Sweet malty, maple syrupy flavor with rust and hops. Medium to full bodied, sticky smooth palate. A bit too sweet and simple.
