3.8 AROMA 8/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 KnutAlbert (4618) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUL 1, 2009
Bottle at Oslo Beer Festival, probably the best new beer I tasted there.
Nice roasted malt, complex, griany flavour. Rye bread, syrup, some dryness balancing it off. Very pleasant.

3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Ungstrup (24024) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - APR 18, 2006
Getting this rating took some time. I bought a partyfass at the brewpub in February to share with the Copenhagen crew, but when the brewmaster realized, that the bar had sold it inspite of her not wanting to sell more of that batch due to a slight acidity, she kindly asked me not to rate it and would supply me with a new partyfass when the next brew was released. So I got it on Wednesday before Easter and opened it to celebrate Joris’ blitz into Copenhagen on Easter Sunday. I like this kind of obsession with giving the customers the right experience of the beer. Some Danish microbrewers can learn from this example!
So how was it: The color is deep red and it has a huge brown head. The aroma is sweet with primary notes of roasted malts, but also with a light touch of chocolate. The flavor is lovely sweet and at the same time roasted and dry with nice notes of chocolate. The end is dry and the roastyness lingers around.
3.6 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 JorisPPattyn (6747) - Antwerpen, BELGIUM - APR 17, 2006
Draught Brownish head over dark red-brown beer. Fruity nose with dark fruit (as plums and dark - apricot?) and some dark malts - and some, sorry, good-roasted eggplant! Smoked taste, cigarette ash standing perpendicular on the nose. Bitter, and even hops and some dry wood. Medium bodied. Wood in the aftertaste makes it dry-severe. It loses a point on its unbalance nose-taste. But it is not a bad beer. Again absurd thanks to the Danish crew for a second Partyfass opened in less than ten minutes!

3.5 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 larsga (4684) - Oslo, NORWAY - JUN 24, 2007
Big dark beige head (bottom of barrel?). Opaque black body goes dark brown at edges. Light carbonation. Dry roasty coffee aroma with milky notes. Dry, minty, slightly watery coffee taste. Very mild, somewhat acidic. Smooth mouthfeel. Dry, burnt aftertaste. Nice, drinkable. The waiter said it was made by accident, when they dumped too much chocolate malts in the mash, but a happy accident, if you ask me. (0.1l draft.)
