Tasting at Papsø
Dark blown color with reddish hue, hazy; small head. The aroma is slightly smokey, with some roasted malt. The body is slim for this gravity, even if the flavor (caramel, chocolate and light sourness) is quite good. It’s un unfinished Old Ale, simple but quite good.

Cloudy mahogany with a medium beige head. Sweet aroma with roasted malt, plums, caramel and liquerice. Sweet flavour with roasted malt, caramel, ripe fruits and hops. Finished sweet.

Bottled. A hazy deep red beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma has notes of malt and caramel as well as just a bit of roasted bread. The flavor is sweet with an acidic edge and notes of malt, caramel, and some lemon, leading to a dry finish.

A Mes rate. Bottle at Chris O’s Night of the Gaylords.
Dark amber with a very thin beige head. Standard sweet xmas stuff really. Faintly phenolic, dried fruit, and a peppery alcoholic finish. Dull but drinkable.

Bottled@The Chriso Gaylord Tasting. Reddish amber colour, small head. Aroma is caramel malts, fruits, mild wood, some slight raisins as well as mild earthy notes. Flavour is quite much the same with the fruityness being much more sweet than in the aroma. Aftertaste is fruits, spices and some mild alcoholic burning notes.

Bottle at Chriso Gaylord tasting 09. Very dark brown. Thin beige head. It’s ok, a decent dark brown ale. Fine.
