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.

Bottle at Københavnske Øldage 2007. Clear dark amber - offwhite head. Lots of dried dark fruits, raisins, prunes, plums, caramel, high sweetness. But also very high alcoholic afterburn. A bit too much !!

Ølfestival 2007. Bottled. Pours a clear orange/brown with an off-white head. Harsh sweetness with heavy bready aromas. Also dired fruits and The strong alcohol flavor gives it a not-so-smooth-at-all touch.
