(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Ungstrup. Pours a hazy, dark brown with an orange hue. Head is completely absent. Lightly tart, spicy nose. A little thin and almost completely flat. No real malty feel - just this weird acidity. Must’ve been a bad bottle. 280907

One of my favorite beers. A beer near the pinnacle of beer complexity. Numerous bold and subtle earthy flavors that defy description. Once a fan of this beer style you may have a hard time turning back - beware.

Bottle, 75 cl. Bought @ festival Hotton. Dark brown almost black color, smaal beige head. Aroma cherry ?, yeast, sour, and sweet to. Medium body. Taste is good sourness, fruity, a bit complex. Good. For me: this is not an stout style beer.

Bottle 1997 - Beautiful clear deep chestnut body with a huge creamy light brown head; Very fruity vinous fresh nose, tobacco caramel aromas, lots of warm ripe fruit with a slight acid touch; Very very intense greatly composed full body, perfect full, slightly bitting carbonation, bitter, salty, acidy; Long tobacco bitter dark chocolate finish, fruity acidy in very long late dense finish. Great beer...why do I only have this one bottle?
