| 3.6 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 4/5 | 15/20 | Jun 5, 2008 Bottled. A golden beer with an off-white head. The arom is sweet malty with primary notes of alcohol, but also light notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of both malt and alcohol. I think a couple of years in the cellar will do it good. Papsoe (14904), Frederiksberg, Denmark
| 3.5 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 8/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 14/20 | Oct 11, 2008 (Bottle 75 cl) Almost clear golden with a dense white head leaving laces. Sweetish - and somewhat spicy - perfumy aroma. Quite full-bodied with sweetish malt and fruit. Has an odd unclean edge and a herbal and alcoholic finish. Still a very decent beer though. 050908 yespr (12020), Copenhagen O, Denmark
