Ungstrup (22911) - Oamaru, NEW ZEALAND - JAN 9, 2005
UPDATED: MAR 7, 2005 [At Jyske Øldage 2004, Kolding] A brown beer with a medium amber head. The aroma is sweet malty and the flavor is sweet and quite dry. A boring beer considering that it is a Traquair production.

Papsoe (21782) - Frederiksberg, DENMARK - SEP 4, 2006
(Bottle 50 cl) Pours a beautiful, clear dark golden with a small, off-white head. Sort of fat, unclean aroma. Medium body with malty yet rather dry notes. Has a very special and not too pleasant gasoline tang that really takes some getting used to. 040906

Bottled (thanks GarethYoung). Dark rubyish amber colour with big beige creamy head, leaves a lot of lace. Aroma is malts, hops and slight caramel. Flavour is roasted malts, caramel and flowery hops. Slight leathery and oaky hints in aftertaste, along with roasted malts and hops.
