Faroese: Sct. Brigid Abbey Ale er bryggjað av besta føroyska vatni, 8 sløgum av bygg- og hveitimalti, Kryddað við góðari humlu og natúrkrýddum. Sct. Brigid Abbey er gerað við tveimum ymiskum gerum, ið gevur ein samansettan kryddaðan smakk. Bryggjað við íblástri úr gomlu uppruna reseptum úr gamla gerkjallaranum á Føroya Bjór frá 1888. Sct Brigid Abbey er í stíl við belgiskar klosturbjór.

Danish: Sct Brigid Abbey Ale er en mørk overgæret ale med masser af fylde. 8 malt typer er anvendt, den er gæret med to forskellige overgær. Der er ikke tale om en Stout, men en mild bitterhed i Abbey Ale der kan sammenlignes med belgisk klosterøl. Her med inspiration fra den gamle gærkælder hos Föroya Bjór fra 1888.

Palme (2252) - Bergen, NORWAY - OCT 31, 2011
0.33l bottle @ RBNAG11. Pours a near-clear dark red-brown body with a small quickly fading bubbly off-white head. Aroma has a thin licorice tone, some dark malts and hops. Average carbonation and the mouthfeel is light sticky to watery. Dark malty flavors, some dark caramel, light nutty, some raisins and it has a thin and watery finish with hints of smoke in the aftertaste. Drinkable indeed.

ClubGonzo (2718) - Bergen, NORWAY - OCT 30, 2011
Shared bottle at RBNAG 11 @ Haandverkerstuene, Oslo. First beer from the Faroe Islands! :-D Deep ruby hued brown body, medium off-white head. Aroma is raisins, dark malts, hints of alcohol and nuts. Taste is rather watery raisin and dark malty tones with hints of red grapes. OK, but nowhere near great.

Bottle. Dark fruit, prunes, raisins. Sweet, not particularly sophisticated. The Föroya beers tend to lack the little extra.

Ungstrup (26268) - Citizen of the universe, DENMARK - SEP 3, 2011
Bottled. A red-brown beer with a thin brown head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, malt, and spices of which cloves are most dominant. The flavor is sweet with notes of matl, caramel, yeast, bread, and spices, leading to a dry and bitter finish. The body is light. Thanks yespr for sharing.
