Bottle from Voldby Koebmandsgaard, DK - fuzzy brown with a beige head. Sweet roasted malts, slight chocolate, some toffee, dark dried fruits, nutty, icing sugar, lovely mouthfeel just like the 10. Beautiful.

Great aroma with deep chocolate and caramel. Smooth and refined. Great with a fine steak.

Belgian yeast, overripe plums, and sweet raisins dominate. Some of the bread and spice in the nose comes through in the finish. Carbonation is strong, but not overly sharp. Alcohol definitely comes through in the flavor. Delicious.

Bottle from cotteridge wines. Reddish brown ale with small head. Aroma of caramel, malts and dark fruits. Taste is malts, dark fruits, sweet dark toffee and an alcohol kick. Medium carbonation that bounces the flavours around, medium bodied. This is world class, the best beer I have tasted so far. Wow.

Aroma : Plums, yeast Appearance: Much carbonation, brown red, cloudy Taste: Fizzy, light bitterness, raisins

Slightly darker and just as inviting as the 6, with a beautiful head and flaky yeast bits. All sorts of sweet dark fruits entering the nose; plums and blackcurrant. Taste is complex and heavy and slightly sweeter than the 6. Some alcohol noticeable and finishes with a less subtle bitterness than the 6, which made the beer a bit less impeccably balanced.

Svår att ratea. Spritsig och mycket kolsyra. Bubblar fett i munnen. Både gillar och känner viss avsmak. Svårt att bestämma mig här

Bottle. Pours a cloudy brown color with big off white head. Brown sugar, malty, dark fruit aromas. Sweet, brown sugar, belgian yeast flavors. Not quite Rochefort 10, but damn good.

Dufter ikke af så meget, nøddebrun, lys tæt skum, maltet, let syrlig, let bitter eftersmag. Ikke min type med udemærket Free Føroyar!!!

Poured from bottle. Plum colored with a light bubbly foam. Smells of sugar and raisins. Tastes of sugarplum and raisin with alcohol in the background. Awesome beer.
