COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The first beer we actually brewed, this is a very limited release for ’Øllets Dag 2008’ (Day of Beer). There is only 5 litres, as this is brewed using the goods available from our time as homebrewers.

Big thanks to bu11zeye for sharing this bottle. The beer pours a reddish-brown color with a tan head. The aroma is fairly strange. I get some toffee and some light tartness from the fruit. The flavor is more complex but even stranger than the aroma. I get some tobacco and chocolate notes, as well as some tart strawberries and toffee. Each time I take a sip I get something different. Medium mouthfeel and medium carbonation. The strange mix of flavors in this beer led the opinions on this beer at our tasting to be very diverse. I liked it overall, even though I am not entirely sure why.

Ungstrup (22902) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - SEP 16, 2009
Bottled. A murky golden beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is malty combined with notes of citrus, and lighter notes of rotten fruits, lending it a sweetness. The flavor is acidic malty with light notes of burnt malt, leading to a dry burnt finish.

TBone (9092) - Pori, FINLAND - DEC 29, 2008
Bottled (tapped 26.1.2008). Murky nut brown color, small brown head. Whisky, wood and licorice in the nose. Very sour, metallic then licorice and brandy. Long sour-licorice-metallic aftertaste. Very rare, but maybe not really "grand cru".
