gunnfryd (2743), Kristiansand, Norway Jun 30, 2008 Bottle . Copper colour with an off-white head. Aroma is cellar notes, dried fruits, caramel. Flavour is dried fruits, cellar notes, oxidation, alcohol. Nice beer. yngwie (3602), Kristiansand, Norway Jun 29, 2008 Updated: Aug 26, 2008Bottle. It pours a clear, copper body with a small, off-white head. Cellar, dried fruits, mould, some port, a little oxidation and caramel and a touch of metal in the quite weak aroma. The flavor is sourly sweet, with dried fruit, a little cellar and a tiny oxidation. Quite short finish with some notes of alcohol. Medium to thin body with a little warming feeling. A delicious and gentle beer. Not very sour, not very sweet, not much of everything, but delicious. Rating: 7-3-7-3-15-3.5. (080509)
Bottle. The beer pours a reddish copper body with a quite lively carbonation and a small beige head leaving nice lacings. Dried fruits, some cherries, a little wood, caramel and cellar aromas escape the glass. Gives a rather sweet impression. Cellar, dried fruits, a little woody touch, sugary sweetness, a fruity sourness and some oxidation in the mouth. Silky, medium-bodied and slightly astringent mouthfeel. Slightly lemony and quite sweet finish with dried fruits and oxidation, but as for the rest of the beer, it’s gentle and certainly not pushing the limits. Easy to drink and with good refreshing qualities. (080826) beastiefan2k (1120), Lawrence (formely NYC), Kansas, USA Jun 1, 2008 Pours with a large head that quickly fades into a surface covering lacing. The lacing is very sticky on the sides of the glass. Color is dark ruby brown with visible vigorous carbonation. Aroma is fruit juice made out of dark fruits and some wet socks (musk). Taste is dark grape skins and grape soda with some musk. Tingling carbonation as well. As is warms a light aceto character comes out, like very muddled balasamic vinegar. This oud bruin just misses the mark. 25cL bottle with no date from Beer Planet in a Cantillon tulip-like wine glass. daniele (830), Italy Apr 21, 2008 quasi scura schiuma non abbondante media pesistenza sentori agro dolci molto lievi in bocca è delicata leggeri sentori tostati fonefan (4871), Ulfborg, Denmark Apr 2, 2008 Bottle @ Zythos Bier Festival 2008, Sint Niklaas, Belgium.
