Ungstrup (10853), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 21, 2008 Draft - mine was listed as 9.5% ABV. A dark amber beer with a thin beige head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of hops as well as medium notes of caramel. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of both caramel and hops, leading to a dry bitter and very hefty grassy finish. WOUW. BückDich (4497), Boise, Idaho, USA Nov 19, 2007 Tap @ Restaurant: Hazy copper, light head and lacing. Nose of bright sweet pale malts, starchy intense hops and a bitter resinous, sticky mouthfeel. Explosive and big headed, a bit too sticky and sweet with that stout body, it’s just too brash and not hoppy enough to balance. Indiana_Red (1445), Boise, Idaho, USA Nov 17, 2007 On tap at the BP. Medium orange amber woth a small coarse head. Faint malty aroma. Lacking much hop notes. Flavor is sweet and medium light malts. Indee bottered and indee attenuated. Allmost syrupy.

SamuraiArtist (292), portland, Oregon, USA Oct 29, 2007 Draft at Green Dragon: amber golden color. Citrusy hops and candi aroma. Flavor is sweet and quite bitter. Both citrus and pine hop flavor. Slightly cloying candi sweetness. Atleast if finishes clean. Only hopheads need apply on this one. Bitter and sweet but barely any malt or hop flavor. boFNjackson (482), Portland, Oregon, USA Oct 21, 2007 Updated: Oct 26, 2007From a growler which was filled at their NW location... Poured a burnt orange with an off-white head. Florally hops on the nose. Really smooth and silky, and really easy to drink for 9.1%. There’s a wood or oak presence which makes it comes off like it was maybe barrel aged, but I don’t know anything about whether that’s true or not. Sort of like a chocolate malt presence with leafy hop characteristics and finishes really smooth. This is easily the best brew that I’ve had from Laurelwood
