Apr 29, 2008 bottle at the white horse after a plate of rock oysters with issy. i don’t know why but i still had time for a beer before we HAD to go home... and she let me rate it quickly, but thats what it looks like. -e-cover washing powder, pine needles, sop, darkest ruby, creamy shadowy head, heavy metal herbs, alcohol, uncomfortably bitter, too fizzy! .... sorry i was a bit busy...

Apr 29, 2008 Bottle 0.33 l. Bought Kvickly Hilleroed. Dark brown colour with nice soft light brown head. Aroma a bit difficult to describe, clearly alcohol. Flavor complex - plums, malt, liqourice. Rich carbonation. Nice mouthfeel. Alcohol is very dominating.

Apr 28, 2008 A beautifully dark beer to look at. The aroma is not over-powering and just makes me want to dive in. The mouth feel is fantasitic. I find the flavor to be the least impressive part of this beer, as its good dark fruit with some nice booze in there, but nothing that made me fall in love. I think I would rather drink St. Bernardus 12.

Apr 28, 2008 very dark brown, huge head. Yeasty, plum, very strong alcohol through all. maybe a bit overrated.

Apr 28, 2008 I got this beer from a friend who shipped them to me as they are not available in my area. I really enjoyed this beer, it was exactly what I expected it to be based on the descriptions I read in BLAM and the style guidlines. Sweet, but not cloying, nice heady carbonation that lasts, good aroma, unique yeast character. If you can get ahold of one of these gems then try it. Definately one of my favorites.

A- Deep murky brown which appears to be almost impossible to see through. Absolutely massive frothy cream colored head.
S- Smells of dark fruits, grape with a fresh grain odor. This brew has a distinct spiciness that stings the nose.
T- The alcohol comes through very strong from start to finish. Spicy fruit flavors seem to be subdued behind.
M- Highly carbonated, good viscosity but not nearly enough to be considered "thick".
D- Excellent brew and fairly drinkable. The 11.3% alcohol by volume certainly makes it much less drinkable than session brews but for higher alcohol beer it is pretty easy to drink other than the fact that the alcohol doesn’t seem to be masked very well.

Apr 26, 2008 Bottle. Pours dark caramel color with a thick creamy head. Aroma is of fruits, sweet and nice. Flavor is sweet of herbs, fruits, and honey. Leaves a very warm and tasty finish. This beer is very smooth and drinkable, despite the high alcohol content.
