4.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 5/5 OVERALL 18/20
Vint 2007: Very lively and almost sprays out of the bottle. the head that remains is lasting fine and the colur is is ´dark brown. dark nose, black caramel, sugar, light cinnamon and the typical minty Brøckhouse touch. To light though. Soft and fullbodied with some length. Taste is almost oily with some dark sugar and caramel, dried prunes and chockolate. Very fina tase, but the nose is too light to earn a top rating

Cloudy dark brown beer. Dry palate. Marmite and sweet malt and something mildly spicy, ginger? An odd combination that just about hangs together.
3.5 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 16/20
UPDATED: MAY 8, 2011 (2007 vintage bottle 50 cl from a random supermarket selling off the estate) Pours black with a reddish hue, medium off-white head that laces the glass. Aroma of malt, honey and fruit with the faintest whiff of oxydation. The brew hits the palate as a full-bodied, softly carbonated concoction with oily texture and a long, astringent finish. Taste is complex, a balanced sweet and sour with notes of syrup and raisins. Good beer but rapidly approaching its end of life cycle I’m afraid. Thanks for a lot of great beer experiences. Brøckhouse!
