Bottle: Poured a deep brown cloudy color ale with a big foamy head with good retention and some lacing. Aroma of dry caramel malt with light spices. Taste is also dominated by some caramel malt notes with some spicy yeast elements also discernable. Full body with some great carbonation and no apparent alcohol. Not bad but more like a middle of the road Belgian ale slightly liking character.

From tap at Ølbaren. Pours dark brown with a reddish hue and a lacing light brown head. Aroma is chalky, breadish, with a mild raisin note and mild mouldy. Flavour is raisins swept in bread. Dried fruity finish with a light acidity and some breadish notes lingering into the finish. Grows on me with every sip, gives the impression of a rather nice brew that doesn’t have the best of all aromas.

Almost Black/brown color with light brown head. Aroma is a sour citrus smell. Sour first with a light caramel coffee dark beer finish.

A hazy red beer with a thin off-white head. The aroma is sweet with main notes of berries, but also hints of wood. The flavor is sweet woody combined with notes of berries, and a slight acidity. The body is somehow thin - hard to imagine in a 8.5% ABV Belgian beer.

(Bottle 33 cl) Dark and almost muddily unclear, brownish head with lots of impurities. Very complex from lots of good quality ingredients. Heavy and aromatic, almost vinous in it’s approach. Vinous in the direction of sweet desert wines like port, madeira etc. And has some Trappist touches also. Great beer. 260804

Red amber color. Strong aroma: malt, caramel, alcohol, vegetables, phenol, hop. Quite dry mouthfeel, with a lot of caramel, some malt; not fully convincing.
