MissDolle (20), Odense, Denmark May 9, 2008 Thanks to Dedollewaitor. 50 cl. bottle. Deep orange colour with a creamy little head. Aroma and taste: wood, dark fruits, matured, sweet, caramel and nearly vinious. Low carbonation. Mouthfeel was sticky and smooth. Good experience! Ofortuna (322), Grafton, Wisconsin, USA May 8, 2008 From my backlog. Tasted side-by-side with a 2002 version. This was the weaker of the two by a large margin. Much less malt intensive in flavour, but did still have a nice noble hop aroma that was far more intense than the 2002. This showed itself as being a bit off-balanced and out of line. Some residual sweetness present with bits of toffee characteristic of the style. A bit of phenolic character going on and a bit off overall. Really an off-year for this offering. Dedollewaitor (3625), Odense, Denmark May 7, 2008 55cl bottle. Trade with Bierkoning. Thanks. Having tasted 05,06,07 the expectations were high with this one .. Poured hazy deep amber/orange with a off white creamy head.
Matured & sweet malty aroma - caramel, plum & quite vinous. Low carbonation. Very round, mild, soft, sweet & balanced mothhfeel & taste. Lots of dark fruits, caramel & a vinous/port feel. Oily & sticky palate. Pleasant warmth from alcohol. Ends slightly dry. Just a damm great vintage ale!!! KimJohansen (6676), Copenhagen V, Denmark May 4, 2008 [Thanks a million Ungstrup!] Hazy deep amber with medium off white head. Sweet fruity aroma with notes of caramel and ripe fruits and toasted malt. Sweet and rather vinious flavor with notes of plums, prunes, caramel, toasted malt and madeira. Warming alcohol in the end. yespr (11649), Copenhagen O, Denmark May 2, 2008 55 cL bottle, 44514. Pours slight hazy orange with a lacing white head. Wineous malt aroma with light overripe fruit notes. Flavour is overripe fruity with a light oxidised note. Followed by a smooth malt flavour with a subdued caramel malt note.

Short beige creamish head. Sweet caramellic and malty aroma with ripe fruits. Good mouthfeel. The flavour is sweet with well toasted malt, ripe fruits, a little touch of vanilla, alcohol and a nice mild bitterness. Grovlam (3790), Copenhagen, Denmark Apr 29, 2008 Bottle. [Courtesy of Ungstrup, thanks buddy] Average creamy beige head that mostly lasted. Good display of lacework. Cloudy amber colour. Aroma of fruit, toasted malt, grain, mild flower. Over the palate came roasted malt, overripe fruit, raisins, mild bitter hops. Full bodied with an average carbonation and light alcoholic texture. Moderated sweet flavour with mild bitterness. Lingering and warming alcoholic fruity finish.
