Bottled. A hazy red beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma has notes of sweet malt, caramel, and alcohol. The flavor is sweet with strong notes of malt, over ripe fruits, and alcohol, as well as medium notes of caramel, the alcohol leaves a burn on the tongue and a slight burn in the throat.

Blind tasting at Papsø’s
Hazy amber color; small head. It has a very light aroma (sweet caramel, oily French Fries); the flavor is better, sweetish caramel, with Bourbon vanilla; there is a late sourness that doesn’t fit in. Too high bitterness. I guess they wanted to make a barrel aged Quadrupel, but it came out too chaotic.

Bottle from Paiste2002, thanks! Dark brown color. Malty nutty aroma wuith nutmeg and pear juice. Malty sweet flavor with pear juice, mango, cinnamon, nutmeg and some warming alcohol. Very pleasant beer, the fruity sweetness hides the alcoholic power. Good, but maybe a bit too onedimensional sweet to be top class.
