Commercial Description:
Infinitely complex in aroma and flavor with notes of maltiness and tartness throughout. An unsurpassed old brown with the richness and complexity of a vintage wine.

2006 bottle, pours deep amber with fair amount of yeast sediment, aroma is fruity and sour, much like the taste. Light sourness, not overwhelming, good complement to maltiness.

Extremelly vinous character, almost vinegar like flaovr. Poured a nice brown with a fizzy light head. Aroma was infinately complex with raisins, cherry, wood , resin. Flavor was intense with a strong fruit tartness to it. Has a distince "celler" like character ti it. A very pleasant offering.

Brown with a dense head. Acidity and sour aroma with notes of wood, yeast and cherry. Spicy, yet acidity flavour with some notes of cherry and raspberries. It’s quite complex and a very fine experience.

2006 bottle. deep brown pour with a thin beige head. sourness and a tiny acidic note. thickness is quite thicker than i was expecting. the taste is ok but not as sour as i was expecting. maybe i need a fresher bottle.

2005 bottle. Ruby red pour with a medium head and lots of yeast particles. Oaky, vinous aroma that mixes red wine with cherries and yeast. Flavor has a nice cherry/tart/vinous thing going on that starts strong but peters out a bit. Nice mouthfeel, but not powerful or sour enough to satisfy a tough sour craving. Still very nice and quite tasty.

Flaske. Tydelig sur lugt, men den slår ikke så kraftigt igennem i smagen. Hvilket er med til at gøre øllen frisk og dække over de 8%. Meget drikbar og farlig grundet procenterne, men en masse bundfald gør den sidste del af øllen mindre nydelsesfuld.

Bottle of the 2006. Light sourness cuts through the rich caramelly malt. Finish has an almost leathery aspect. Interesting beer.

Amber colour, small white head. Aroma has sour fruits and wood and malts. Flavour is sour fruity, with some vinegar. Complex. Odd beer, have to have more of this to really appreciate it.
