Ungstrup (10853), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jan 1, 2004 The aroma is sweet with notes of chocolate and plums combined with a slight sourness. The color is pitch black and it has a beutiful light brown head. The flavor is sweet with notes of yeast, citrus, plums, and wood. It turns somewhat bitter combined with the sourness - which is a really good balance to the sweet start. A little too sour for my liking. But the body is good. Thanks a lot to Alex (Fiulijn) for trading me this one. omhper (10141), Stockholm, Sweden Mar 4, 2003 Bottled. Very dark brown. Subtle berry aroma. Dryish and lightly yeasty, otherwise surprisingly clean. Notes of sugar and perhaps chocolate. Complex, but very, very subtle for a beer of this magnitude. Papsoe (9771), Frederiksberg, Denmark Jun 14, 2005 (Bottle 75 cl) Very dark and opaque, very small, lacing head. Pronounced alcohol in the nose. Very malty with notes of dried fruits - especially raisins. Odd underlying sourness. I’ve had this stored for six months - I think I should keep the remaining bottles for a couple of more years. 310505 Oakes (6790), Miami Beach, Florida, USA Jul 23, 2002 Black; aroma of black currants, black (but not roasty) malts - less fruit than the similar Trois Pistoles. Smooth body, complex malt notes, ever-present Unibroue yeast, plum, toffee, sweet finish. joergen (6147), Frederiksberg, Denmark May 5, 2005 Bottled. Brown colour with a beige head.
Acidic fruity aroma with notes of bread.
Nice flavour with lots of chocolate and dried fruit.
Well hidden alcohol.
