COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The '03 adds a new twist to the annual limited edition beer that we brew. The past three versions ('00, '01 and '02) all used ale yeast strains in their creation. This year, a lager yeast provides the next unique flavor in this series of strong beers. With this new yeast, we, again, selected an original combination of ingredients to round out the never-to-be-used-again recipe. Hints of roasted malt are balanced with the mildly floral bitterness of '03's three hops to produce our next one of a kind brew. In addition, the nearly full pound of malt that has been used to make each bottle of '03 is the key to it's complexity and tremendous strength. It is extremely limited, extremely strong and extremely original, because as we like to say around here: "It's All About Extremes!"

Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - DEC 5, 2006
An unclear brown beer with a dying orange head. The aroma is sweet with notes of wood, caramel, and bourbon. The flavor is of bourbon, wood, and mollasses, and the body is thick. Not Your typical Doppelbock, more like a Barley Wine.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - NOV 23, 2004
UPDATED: DEC 28, 2004 Bottled. Mahogany colour, no head. Port aroma. Very malty, but somehow streamlined. Alcohol is there to add a woody vinous character. The sweetness is relatively balanced, and there is a balsamic soy sauce like Hürlimann/Triple Bock feeling to it. Short, roasty finish. Interesting and very good.
