Bottle. Burgundy-brown in color. Thin, limited lacy head. Floral, pinot noir, grape hints with a light touch of mustard. May be what I ate recently though. Rich, flavorful taste and a very dry finish. High alcohol numbness is very present, very pleasing. Good times; it’s lie there’s a party in my mouth and everyone’s invited.

Bottle. High creamy and lasting óff-white head. Hazy dark orange body. Sweet fruity aroma of apple pear peach and a lot of raisin. Burned barley malt flavor with fruity notes plus a good deal of allcohol Heavily carbonated. Long hoppy aftertaste Overall: Alcohol too dominant.

Bottle. Copper body with almost no head. Sweet malty aroma of what I suppose is raisins. Flavor is quite sweet and syrupy, full of raisins and baking bread, with just a note of carbonation. Hides the alcohol well, but you can tell its strong.

Københavnske Øldage 07. Copper. The aroma is heavy and sweet, vinous with notes of raisin, malt, port wine. The flavour is just as heavy and has notes of raisin, dark fruits, candy sugar, port wine among other notes. The 18,5% is hidden pretty well, but this beer is too heavy and compact, and a bit cloying in it’s sweetness. 2129

Big Malty Raisen taste with some bitterness.. The maltiness and syrup texture is like that of the 120 minute. Hides the alcohol just like it’s hoppy brother.
