Adam is a recreation of a historic beerstyle. Originally made in Dortmunder, Germany, it was the first beer I produced when I opened Hair of the Dog. Rich in flavor, Adam is best served as a dessert beer. It is great with chocolate or cigars, or just a warm fire and good company.

(On tap @ Mikkeller and Friends, Copenhagen, Oct 21 2016) Aroma is toasty with a lot of layers of grain complexity, rye-like notes, faintly burnt and smoky, toffee, lots of dried fruit, sweet and a bit tart, nutty, a hint of chocolate. Flavour, like nose, is complex and built around layered grain character with sweet toffee, slight molasses, toast, nuts, smoke, a range of fruit flavours spanning sweet, tart and even bitter, with a particular spicy fruit I can’t place seeming unique. The finish enhances the toasted, nutty and fairly high bitterness, closing dry with high minerality and very little alcohol. Medium body, lightly carbonated. Like a very atypical barley wine, difficult to describe but very interesting and pleasing to sip.

Tap@Mikkeller & Friends, Copenhagen - dark brown pour with off-white head. Sweet toasted and medium roasty malty, pleasing notes of caramel and cocoa, some dark dried fruit shred, some lovely spices into the warming close. Gorgeous. ---Rated via Beer Buddy for iPhone

Draught at Omnipollos Hatt, July 25. Deep brown colour with a reddish tinge. No head. Sweet aroma with roasted malts, dark chocolate, liqourice, caramel malts, coffee, nuts and dark, dried fruits. Taste is sweet. Full body with an oily texture and a soft carbonation. Long lasting, slightly dry finish with lingering chocolate, coffee and a leather note. Excellent and complex.

mmm a masterpiece. Aroma is heavy caramel and toffee. Flavor is so much more complex, cocoa, peat, tobacco, roast, malt, bittersweet with a slight bit of carbonic tang. The carbonation is perfect for the weight and the rest of the texture of the beer. A sipper for sure, but I also, just for the hell of it, took a big gulp. Really good.

Tap at Omnipollos Hatt. Dark reddish brown with no head. Roasted chocolate aroma with caramel, raisin and dates. Quite sweet caramel fudge, dates and some malty, boozy notes. Quite heavy on the sweet and boozy side.

Draft 2013 vintage at Brouwers for their anniversary. Very dark pour with a swirl fizz head. Smokey caramel malt aroma. Such intriguing flavor here. Just enough smoke to keep you coming back for more, and not enough to overpower the remining malt bill. Semi sweet caramel with the smoke to balance. Soft smoke finish. I would love to pair this beer with a fine cigar. It does plenty by itself. Most.excellent beer here.
