| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 4/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Sep 8, 2009 Bottle from regional. Pours a reddish orange, thin tan head.
Aroma has some vodka-like alcohol, overridden by a caramelly malt, a hint of orange rind, marmite, bready maly.
Flavour is somewhat bitter, mainly from alcohol. Some earthy hop, very nice full body. I find a strong orange rind flavour, a hint of spice. Finish is quit bitter, alcoholic, warm.
A subtle beer, with strong flavours. Egon (394), Gothenburg, Sweden

On the nose: A caramel malt dominates. Some herb notes, crisp apple with other simple fruit. Floral notes, some yeast.
Flavours: Much less sweet than a 2008. A little more complexity in the bitterness. Not just alcohol, but possibly some hops. Still kind of cloying and hard to drink . Bragesnak (2257), Aarhus, Denmark

| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 5/10 | 3/5 | 16/20 | Jul 6, 2009 Bottle No. 35320. Dried fruits and light barley wine-touch in the nose as it is poured. Nice white foam which settles slowly and sticks to the innerface of the glass. A clear yeasty note is to be found along with the caramel malts. The alcohol burden is vaguely present. Good beer though not my favourite style.
