COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Once a year the the Danish Beer Enthusiasts celebrates "Øllets Dag" - Day of the beer. This year they wanted something special. Together with the founders of the organization, we made a recipe based on a classic Belgian Dark Ale. Ølfabrikken AA is, of course, unpasteurized, unfiltered and bottle conditioned like all of our beers.

Ungstrup (22906) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - AUG 3, 2007
Bottled. A deep red beer with a huge dark orange-brown head. The aroma is sweet and very spicy with strong notes of caramel and muscovado sugar, and the spices includes coriander and cloves. The alcohol is also noticable in the aroma. The flavor is very sweet with notes of muscovado sugar, alcohol, caramel, spices, nuts, and some vegetables, leading to a dry nutty and spicy finish, where the alcohol leaves you with a slight burn on the palate.

Papsoe (21781) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - OCT 9, 2006
UPDATED: NOV 29, 2006 (Bottle 50 cl) Unclear dark brown with a small, beige head. The aroma is almost vinous with dried fruit and roasted malt. Very fullbodied and alcoholic with lots of good stuff like prunes and other dried fruits as well as plenty of sweet, roasted malt. Dry, lightly hoppy finish. Appears almost like an Old Ale with wooden accents. 081006

yespr (20653) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - OCT 13, 2007
50 cL bottle. What a gusher, Morten got all soaked in this, I had to run to the bathroom to open it fully. The foam kept coming out of this so I put the swing lock back on - when I had the empty the bottle for the rest later in the evening I managed to spray the kitchen sink, window, freezer - you name it - I’m glad this is retired.

Pours hazy dark brown with a huge brown head. Heavy raisin aroma, astringent malty too. Carbonated mouthfeel. Nice liqourice flavoured with a mellow sweet note. Ends slight bitter but then again rather soft caramel malty with a persisting liqourice note.

omhper (15600) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - OCT 24, 2006
Bottled at Söderbärke Mikroölfestival. Dark ruby, rich creamy head. Aroma of coffee and pineapple with evident notes of alcohol. Medium, bodied, sweet with and vinous with burnt malt, lingonberries and wood. Dense mouthfeel, salty finish. Very complex, but perhaps the alcohol is a little bit too visible.

oh6gdx (15510) - Vasa, FINLAND - AUG 8, 2011
Bottled@The Chriso Pre-GBBF Shindig 2011 "Donkey Dork Lord Edition". Brown colour, brown small head. Aroma is raisins, wood, yeast and some caramel with some nice spicyness as well. Flavour is being rather much the same. This beer has aged very well in a Magnum bottle.

fiulijn (10000) - Como, ITALY - NOV 2, 2006
Dark brown color; huge creamy head. Malty aroma, sweet and spicy (cinnamon and nutmeg), with caramel; like the best Belgian ales. Good body structure; flavors of malt, caramel and liquorice in competition; woody. Good bitterness level, with a caramel-liquorice mix as well in the final. With some oxydation it becomes smoother.
