Defreni (1779) - Husum, DENMARK - JUL 29, 2008
Flaske. Flot dybrød øl med et fint lille skumhoved. Duften er kraftig maltet, som går over i smagen der også indeholder en smule frugt. Mere i stil med en doppelbock egentlig. Ikke så spændende.

daknole (5474) - Scottsdale, Arizona, USA - JUL 27, 2008
Bottle and I liked. Orange/Amber color with a big frothy head. Aroma is simple, hops and malt. Flavor is malty, bready, yeasty, sweet. More malt on the fnish. Not much hops at all. Sweet for sure, and I liked it dammit!

Bottle. Poured a nice orange body with huge head. Aroma is light hops and sweet malt. Flavor is light hops, bread and sweet malt. Slight dry and one dimensional from beggining to end. Perhaps it needs to be aged for awhile as this rating is from a fresh bottle.

TET (685) - FINLAND - JUL 22, 2008
Very dark-brown beer with medium beige head. Aroma is complicatedly sweet: malts, syrup, raisins and some balanced roastiness. Flavour is similar than aroma; sweet malts with some roasted malts and syrup. Smooth and slippery to drink, quite pleasant. Fuller’s 1845 Celebration Ale is too sweet for my taste but still balanced beer and whoever this style-loving will be like this too.

Upon pouring, there is a strong toffee aroma to this beer. The color is a hazy brown. This is a sipping beer. It includes a cognac/whiskey molasses flavoring.

Dark brown, with a thick, tight head that fades to a nice lace down the glass. The aroma is sweet malt and alcohol. From the aroma, I’d peg the alcohol at 9%+ Medium/heavy body, with a sweetness that overrides the subtle malt. Not much bitterness. The finish lingers, due to the sweetness and alcohol.
