Thanks to Knut Albert for bringing this delicasy to Göteborg!
Murky yellow colour. Aroma is loaded with this and that: herbs, cheese, berries, almond paste. Wonderfully sourish, yet pleasantly and laid back so to speak. Flavour is apple cake with a smooth mouthfeel, with sparkling caramel notes. Fluffy mouthfeel. Very complex. I prefer this mild version, it seemed to be more complex than the sour version.
plovmand (578), Helsinge, Denmark Sep 4, 2008 Bottle. Courtesy of thewolf. Hazy amber colour with a longlasting white creamy head. Spicy and earthy aroma. Smooth mouthfeel. Very fruity flavour with spices and caramel. Ends up very dry. Dedollewaitor (2047), Odense, Denmark Aug 27, 2008 75cl bottle. Thanks to TheWolf. Pours unclear amber with a stable white creamy foam. Nose is nutty, earthy & sour. Bites the cheek. Vinous & lots of wood & dark fruits. Ends very dry. Great! thewolf (3651), Kolding, Denmark Aug 26, 2008 Bottle @ TFODRBSG, Ulfborg, 2008.
[thanks to the Italians]
Pours orange-red with a small, frothy, off-white head. Aroma is great. Apples, blackberries, raspberries, malts and lots of oaky notes. Fine, dry and still quite creamy mouthfeel. Flavour is wonderfully tart, lots of oak and berries mixed with prunes and raisins. Super elegant and balanced. evanrail (19), Prague, Czech Republic Aug 16, 2008 Bottle from A Tutta Birra, Milan. Cloudy deep amber-brown. Aroma of barnyard, hay (Nina: hay, leather). Flavors include nutty tobacco. Slightly sour but balanced with light orange and citrus overtones. For 8%, no discernible alcoholic heat. Beautiful Belgian lace on the glass; a lasting and dry finish, astringent & clear. Final observation: it burps weird. Todeon (177), Höllviken, Sweden May 8, 2008 Bottle 75cl - Aroma is really sour with som fruity notes. Flavor is sour with som earthy notes and with a dry and tart finish. Thought this one wasn’t as good as I expected.
