Bottled. An unclear amber beer with an orange-tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wood and vanilla with an underlying acidity. The flavor is sweet wooy with notes of prunes, over ripe fruit, vanilla, and some hops, leading to a dry finish with some acidity showing up. The alcohol burns slightly in the throat. Thanks Papsoe for sharing.

(Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of pineypower. Hazy, amber golden with a lively, beige head leaving some laces. Very sweet vanilla and bourbon notes. Quite a full body, a little low in carbonation, but rather high in extremely sweet and sugary caramel notes. Lots of bourbon in the finish, but absolutely no bitterness. The sweetness is a bit overwhelming making this a bit out of balance, but it’s still a lovely beer. 301107

From bottle, no 19 at Papsoes blindtasting. Pours hazy brown to light orange and with a fully diminshed white head. Berry fruity aroma into a whiskey like aroma. Flavour is quite sweet and dried fruity. Almost syrup like feel and flavour. Ends with a lingering sweet fruity tone. Nice.

Bottle. Hazy orange red coloured with an off white head. Fruity aroma of wood and vanilla with notes of dried fruits. Sweet flavour of fruits, spices, wood and vanilla with notes of bourbon, dried fruits and alcohol. Warming alcoholic finish.
