3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20 Defreni (1781) - Husum, DENMARK - MAY 20, 2009
Flaske: Overrater den måske en smule, men den var en tand varm da jeg drak den. Stor duft af rosiner og muscovado sukker. Flot skum på en mørkebrun klar øl. Dejlig vibrerende mundfylde. Smagen for kraftig vinøs, og med en tand lavere temperatur ville den have været mere afbalanceret.

Ginger Man, NYC. Hazy ruby brown coloured, brown head. Malty, nuts, brown sugar and warming alcohol. Tastes like a good Belgian Strong, although the mouthfeel is not as great. Might age very well i think.

Poured a deep fluffy head. Little lacing. Deep garnet color. Fruity, wine-like aroma with a hint of licorice?? Taste of wine, then sweet and as promised dry. Not bad at all.

Big frothy head with Mike Jordan hangtime. Just the site of it had me drooling. A rich mahogany sunset that is almost hypnotising. I thought I was in Aruba on the beach at dusk. Has a ballanced flavor profile with slight earth and fruit. Nice dry finish. Alcohol is well hidden. A tasty ale indeed. I highly recommend.
3.8 AROMA 10/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20 Murphy (1759) - Fort Collins, Colorado, USA - JAN 9, 2003
Initially, the aroma was amazing, blossoming with fruit and honey. Poured with no head which was weird. Could have had a more compelx taste. The bottle I had was young. I would like to try an older one (with more developed malts?).
