The bottle says vintage: Unclear amber with fine white head. Aroma is power hoppy - piney, grape, soapy, flowery. Medium bodied. Again punchy hops in the taste balanced with some sweet sugar/caramel malts. Somehow very fresh & crisp. Sticky lasting finish!
Very nice!

UPDATED: JUN 12, 2009 2009-04-11, draught at Christian Firtal, Odense, 8-5-8-5-16=42
Red-amber color; creamy head. Fruiy hop aroma, and sugary sweet caramel. Strong moufeel, full bodied, with very strong toffee and caramel flavor, extreme hopping, oily, resiny, and a bit fruity. Very strong final, with some sweet toffee too, and warming alcohol. A cake double IPA. Very good.

Cloudy amber color; huge creamy head. Wonderful hoppy aroma, citrusy, with pine needles; then comes the malt and caramel sweetness. Very good toffee aroma, good balance between the sweet and the bitter, the hop brings in dry resins; at the end, the body gets thinner, the malt flavor vanishes. Very good.
