Det Lille Bryggeri Dark Ale

Brewed by Det Lille Bryggeri (Roskilde Øl)
Style: Belgian Ale
Viby Sjælland, Denmark

Bottle. Small brown head. Hazy dark red brown body. Sweet aroma of berries. Well rounded choccolate caramel flavor with a nice amount of hops.

Bottle. Dark brown with ok brownish head. Aroma is sweet , malty, caramel, tobacco, a little fruity (like 50% of the U.S. raters (insert smiley here)), candy sugar with notes of licorice. Also some hoppy notes reminding me of meadows (Ahh...childhood, where have ye gone?). A little metal... Flavour is malty and sweet with dark fruits coming in along with a sour touch and a slightly bitter finish. Is there a little smoke or is just the cigaret, I had walking home from Ølbar, before this beer? I know that somewhere I most have notes on the draught version of this from Fynske Øldage 2005, and I remember being more impressed at the time. Maybe some of the other beers had just gotten to me...

CBF07 sample from 50 cL bottle. Pours unfiltered brown with a light brown head. Aroma of malt and hops. Flavour is malty, rye like with a tart bitterness. Dry malty finish.

Bottle, bought @ Kolding Vinhandel. Pours a very muddy dark brown with a fizzy, bubbly off white head. It settles as a 1cm thick head with medium bubbles. Aroma is powreful, sweet, chocolate and dried fruits and light hazel nuts. Mouthfeel is okay. Flavour has a heavy yeast presence, a clear chocolate edge with a slight sourness on top of it. There is some berries in there as well. It is actually okay - but mostly because the chocolate makes it feel a little ’fat’.

Bottle. Hazy Brown. Sweet aroma of dark malt, yeast and caramel. Sweet quite malty flavour with dark fruits, yeast and a bit of spices.

EBF 2008, Valby, DK. Bottled, 120908. Dark brown with beige head. Aroma of malt and coffee. Flavor is roasted malt and caramel.

An opaque hazy brown beer with a brown head. The aroma is sweet spicy with hints of cloves and berries. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of berries - black currant, but also with a hints of acidity. The end is dry with the sweet berries lingering. The mouthfeel is sticky. In my opinion it lacks hops.

Draft at Fynske Øldage 2005. Hazy brown coloured with a small off white head. Aroma of malts with notes of caramel and hops. Sweet flavour of malts, spices and hops.
