COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
Danish: Årgangsøllen er brygget ved pilsnermetoden, det vil sige af pilsnermalt. Ved tilsætning af brygsirup under processen opnås et højere sukkerindhold, som ved gæring giver den meget høje alkoholstyrke på de nuværende 10,6% alkoholvolumen.
Wiibroe Årgangsøl har en mørkgylden farve og en lys skumkrone. Smagen er frisk og syrlig, kombineret med en let sødme. Ekstra tilsætning af humle giver Årgangsøllen en duft som en mildt krydret blomstereng.
Wiibroe Årgangsøl lagde ud med en alkoholprocent på 8,9 i 1989. I de følgende år steg alkoholprocenten med 0,1% hvert år indtil 2000, hvor Wiibroe lagde sig fast på 10,6% og er nu en af Danmarks stærkeste specialøl.
Igennem de sidste 20 år har Årgangsøllen været udsmykket af forskellige danske kunstnere, der hver især har givet deres bud på årgangsøllens etiket.

OldMrCrow (1518) - Seattle, Washington, USA - OCT 13, 2007
Bottle.

Not knowing what it was I bought one of these. Pours pale and unattractive with no head. One sip and it was clearly euro-style malt liquor. Sweet and syrupy, tons of alcohol, pretty unpleasant.

Chimalli (9) - Stockholm, SWEDEN - OCT 7, 2007 does not count
33 cc bottle, 2005 vintage, bought on ferry Elsinore-Sweden. Small white head disappearing rapidly but leaving some lacing. Awful smell of acetone, had to force it down. Unpleasant alcoholic taste. "Probably the worst beer in the world" - at least the worst I ever had.

larsga (5325) - Oslo, NORWAY - SEP 26, 2007
Small white head quickly disappears. Hazy light amber body. Syrupy caramelly aroma with tropical fruit notes. Smells a bit too sweet and unbalanced. Sweet mealy fruity taste, very mild. Considerable alcohol heat. Buttery mouthfeel. Dry mealy aftertaste. Unpleasant chemical background. Not good. Might have been better if not stored so long. (0.33l bottle. 2004 edition. No memory of where this came from. Might rerate.)

Defreni (2047) - Husum, DENMARK - AUG 24, 2007
Flaske. Meget ubehagelig aroma på denne øl, kemisk. Ellers ser den ok ud, med et lille skum. Men duften alene giver hovedpine.

bierkoning (8958) - La Tropica, NETHERLANDS - AUG 20, 2007
2005 bottle from MiP. Blonde, hazy. Vinous aroma with candy sugar and apricot. Vinous, alcoholic flavor. The alcohol dominates. Well matured beer, but lacking in balance.

yespr (26042) - Copenhagen O, DENMARK - AUG 8, 2007
33 cL bottle (2007). Pours clear golden yellow wot orange with a lacing head. Sweet malty aroma with a sticky alcohol note. Soft mouthfeel. Sweet flavour no real bitterness. Warming alcohol in the finish.

Rune (6125) - Tromsø, NORWAY - AUG 6, 2007
330ml bottle. 2007 edition bought from a 7-11 shop in Copenhagen. Sour grassy aroma from a clear amber body with missing head. Malty taste with a hint of sharp tartness. The alcohol is present all the way through. High level of carbonation. Not worth repeating (01.08.2007).

Bottle. I remember this as a better beer from earlier holidays in Denmark. The 2007 edition is not impressive at all, the intense taste of alcohol destroys the experience.

ekstedt (4544) - Göteborg, SWEDEN - JUL 22, 2007
Bottle, 33 cl, bought at a gas station at the island of Falster, Denmark. What can I say, tastes alcohol and really nothing else. Ok appearance though.
