Odense spring time specialties night at Dolle. Dark brown with a small tan head. The aroma has a lot of red wine, with fresh ground coffee and dark chocolate. Dry and extremely complex flavour with red wine, coffee, chocolate, spice, red berries... Long lasting dark chocolate and coffee aftertaste.

Bottle @ Odense Late March Tasting, 2012. Trade with Noize. Bottle nr. 63. Pours dark brown with a small creamy off white head. Nose is roast, cellar, oak, red wine and a bit of alcohol. Quite nice. Flavor is roast, red wine, oak and vague coffee. Smooth, vinous and slick. Full bodied. Nice one.

From the 750ml bottle at the January Tucson tasting. Brown super chunky pour. Belgian yeast, chocolate, roasted grain and oak aroma. Taste has spicy Belgian notes, chocolate and roasted grain. Light body with lots of sweetness.

Corked and caged 750mL bottle releases the cork easy enough but then it slowly oozed with foam for a good half hour. The resulting pours were murky with sludgy floaty sedimentation. It has a dark brown body and rocky tan head. The aroma has dusty notes, dark roasted malts, chocolate and mild tart red wine notes followed by chocolate malt balls and boozy heat. The taste is not so good as I heard someone mention and I agree. It has dusty yeasty dry notes, dark roasted malts, some chocolate and then semi tart red wine. Wow, the bottle states this 2008 vintage is good for 25 years. It fell a touch short.

Stark karbonisierter Malzbeginn mit mittelstarker, zum Malz passender Säurenote. Dann schokoladiger, die angenehme Säure besteht weiterhin. Das Malz gerät dadurch etwas in den Hintergrund, es zeigt sich aber nach wie vor in schokoladigen Noten mit leichtem Alkohol-Unterton. Angenehme Bitterkeit zum Schluss, die Malzigkeit gefällt weiterhin. Sehr gut! 9/13/12/13/11/13

Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours a dark brown/black with tan head. Aroma has notes of dark roast, baking cocoa, a bit of brett with somewhat of a citrus twang. Flavor is very much like aroma with some spiciness and a citrus tang. Mouth feel is medium body with fizzy carbonation. Overall, good stuff!

Bottle. Thanks Theis and Mette! Dark brown body with a medium creamy off white head. The aroma is light roasted, oak, vanilla, hops and chocolate. The flavour is dark fruit, oak, light acid, roasted malt and chocolate. Nice and complex.
