Sep 29, 2009 2008 vintage. pours a deep dark brown that matches my dresser very nicely, nice little beige head with some good lacing. smells of apples, bananas, plums, cherries, raisins, lots of fruit here. malty taste with some fruits present mostly the same ones as on the smell with a strong lingering finish. the 11% is obvious in this one but its very fruity and rich overall. very solid brew, highly suggested.

Sep 22, 2009 wicked aroma of ripe fruits, plums, apples, raisins, and cherries, also an oustanding sweet bready yeasty aroma. Like a great sweet load of sugar loaf. Flavor is very sweet, but also has a nice bitterness. Lots of flavors, more fruit, some licorice, more sweet breadiness. SOme vanilla lingers, with some sweet malts. Jesus, this is a party! wow. incredible beer! very complex!

Sep 21, 2009 750ml compact bottle from Vinmonopolet shared as an aperitif. Gives a good, smoky shot when the cork and wire cradle are released from the bottle. Initial huge, dense beige head over a deep, ruby body. Aromatic to the nose with prunes and other kinds of sweet, dark fruits. Dark fruits and dark berries in flavour with well integrated heating from the alcohol. Sherry-like textured. Full bodied. Slow sipper and just the right choice before dinner (weekend at Elsas in Skibotn, 28.08.2009).

Sep 18, 2009 A brown pour with light tan head and lace. Aroma is brown sugar and a musty hay. A thick sweet flavor of almost molasses with some breadiness, Abv is there but not in a bad way. Aggressive to smooth in one drink carbonation on a full bodied beer. Very nice

Sep 18, 2009 Bottle from 2001 - LCRBM 2009. Dark brown, small head. Complex malty and old aroma. Starts soft like velvet, fine malty, modest alcoholic, very well balanced. Finish still soft malty, fruity notes and some cinnamon. Great beer!

Sep 14, 2009 smells of dark malts but is very overshadowed by banana and fruit. A dark reddish brown that seems like it’s just brown until you get some light right through it. The dark malt REALLY comes out in the flavour, almost no aftertaste, just a bit of alcohal. Smooth and creamy on the tounge, eases up the alcohal falvour. A really nice beer, this was a 2008.
