750 ml bottle; wow, thanks Tom!! #100 marked on the bottle; pours dark brown and mostly flat with thin tan ring along the edges; aromas of brown sugar, yeasty spice and musky malts; drinks very, very sweet with orange peels and spice; tick, syrupy texture drinks with just a touch of alcohol; normally I’d say this was a little too sweet, but works really well here; damn good

At a tasting, thanks DSG, pours black with a tan medium head, aroma of cherries, cherry liquor, nuts, wood and wine, flavor is citrusy with wood, nuts , sour cherries and a touch of coffee, medium to full body, nice one.

Cask - Deep deep chestnut body with a very fine bubbled beige head; Lots of prunes, sharper malt and vinous aromas; Sweet deep malt bitter, slightly fruity vinous; Looong finish.warms at first, later it mellows out with lots of malt vinous aromas. Great beer!

Samled at EBF 08. Dark brown with no head. Fruity with sweet & sour tones. Malt, fruit and sour. Full body with a bitter finish.

Draught, EBF, Copenhagen, 2008. A masterpiece. Nose initially hints at sour, some raspberry vinegar, with a sweet, almost clinical, talcum undertone. Mouth is sweet, initially, then a punchy sourness, cherry undertones, wood and cherry stones. Finishes sweet and fruity. Very very good, very complex, and one of my favourites of the festival. Absolutely stunning.

Draught at EBF. Sourish, vinous nose with butter, oak, little vanilla. Vinous, buttery flavor, liquorice and oak. Full bodied, low carbonation. Great brew, full and round with good oakiness.

Bottle, courtesy GT2. Pour is hazy brown with a tan head, good retention/lacing. Aroma is caramel, dark fruit, fruity esters, prunes, hazelnut, light oak. Flavor is very sweet with dark fruit, hazelnut, wood, cocoa notes. Somewhat dry and booze finish, sticky texture, medium-full body. I’d give this a few more years to dry out.

At a tasting, thanks DSG, smallish head, dark brown colour, aroma of cherries and very ripe berries with vanila and oxidised notes, flavour of chocolate, dried fruits, wood and a hint of nuts with a strong sourness. Just good.

Bottle. Pours deep brown colored with a nice creamy lacing and lasting light brown head. Aromas of caramel, red fruit, oak, dried fruit, salt and mild smoke. Mildly tart flavor with notes of red fruits, oak, chocolate, caramel, dried fruit and sweet licorice. Great beer. Sadly i only bought this one bottle two years ago :O(

Deep nut brown with a dense small light brown head. Aroma is roasted, chocolate, lots of oak and vanilla, dark berries, dark fruits, aging really shines through. Gorgeous smell. Taste is nice and roasted, has both a belgian yeast characteristic and an american roasted touch, extremely well done barrel aging, dark dried fruits, nice yeast sweetness, oak, vanilla, port like, a little spicey, maybe cinnamon. God øl.
