Aarhus, DK Bottled Dark reddish. Low on hops but very high malt profile - nuts, caramel and some sweet chocolate

[Sampled in 2004.] For Pingu & Kængu. Not that bad. Ørbæk yeast and good dark scottish notes. Only one bottle!

(Bottle 75 cl) Typically flat Ørbæk carbonation and the typical Ørbæk house character although a new yeast has been used for this - a Scotch ale yeast. Very dark, almost mahogany. Sweetish yet with a solid hoppy bite. Quite refined, almost vinous beer. 060704

A red brown beer with a fine light brown head. The aroma is sweet malty with notes of roasted bread. The flavor is very sweet though turning a bit sour in the end combined with notes of malt and fruit.

Wonderful brown colour with a reddish glow but a disappointing head. Decent aroma and flavour with some malts, dark fruits, acidity, and perhaps yeast. The initial sweetness is hence being balanced by a mild acidity rather than a "real" bitterness. Definitely not my favourite Ørbæk beer, but better than a lot of the other bland and commercial "wedding beers".

Bottle, DBF 2004. Orange bronze, no head and fine condition. Low thin malt in the nose, some citric fruit in the mouth and a developing bitterness in the finish. Nothing special.

Reddish brown coloured. Quite fruity and slightly malty in the aroma and in the flavour. Very mild and slightly sourish.

Brown color with a beige head. The taste is strong malts with a wellbalanced mild palate of hops. Has some nutty notes.

Bottled @ DBF2004: Ruby red coloured. Beige head. Malts and fruits in the aroma. Some spices and a bit sourness in the flaovur. Malts and yeast present. LIght bitter in the end.

Dark copper, low head. Fruity aroma, rather sweet. A bit watery mouthfeel. Strange sour aftertaste. Pretty boring...
