Ungstrup (14758), Frederiksberg, Denmark Sep 12, 2007 Bottled. A murky red-brown beer with a thin rim of head. The aroma is sweet malty with strong notes of over ripe fruits and prunes. The flavor is sweet with notes of alcohol, prunes, and over ripe fruit, leading to a dry and slightly woody finish. Papsoe (14642), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 20, 2007 (Bottle 75 cl) Courtesy of Storm. Very unclear reddish brown. Very fruity aroma - some roastiness as well. Very full-bodied and fruity with yeasty accents. The finish is dry and surprisingly hoppy. Not a bad beer as it is, but I think this will gain with some more age on it. 090507 omhper (12155), Stockholm, Sweden Jan 31, 2008 Bottled. Dark mahogany, brief head. Aroma of cocoa powder. Sweet and soft, full bodied. Lots of dark chocolate with notes of hay and orange. Intriguing up front, but I didn’t find as much depth as I hoped. Good - not fantastic. yespr (11649), Copenhagen O, Denmark Jun 30, 2007 RBSG07. From 75 cL bottle. Pours deep amber to brown. Aroma of dried raisin, no sweetness. Flavour is sweet and alcohol with a nice raisin flavour. Finish is sweet going dry. oh6gdx (8802), Vasa, Finland Apr 12, 2009 Bottled (thanks stoutlover72!). Deep amberybrown colour, small head. Aroma is raisins, plum, some alcohol and mild notes of fruits. Flavour is fruits, alcohol, raisins, ashes and liquorice as well as some spicyness. Dry bittery grass, coffee and some yeast as well. Complex and quite good beer in it’s style. joergen (8430), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jul 21, 2007 Updated: Oct 20, 2008Bottle.

Vintage: 2007
Appearance: dark muddy brown with ruby edges, wispy beige head, touch of drippy lace
Flavor: sweet malt flavor with lots of dates and raisons and other ripe dark fruits plus a hint of alcohol after warming a bit
Overall: rich malt flavor, lots of ripe fruit, balancing roasted bitterness is a bit too much and distracting and should fade with age, only a touch of sweetness comes with warming but the bitterness holds it back from being all it should be, richness continues to grow and picks up some chocolate along the way

Oakes (8058), gone rambling, Vietnam May 8, 2008 Bright golden-brown colour. Aroma of figs and raisins, and lots of chewy dark malts and hints of molasses. Complex palate with some nice dark fruit character and rich, sweet malts. Long finish and full body.
