Shared 355 ml bottle, vintage 2010, from Voldby Købmandsgaard. ABV is 8%. Amber to brown colour. Oxidised malty aroma, reminds me a bit of Thomas Hardy’s Ale. The malty flavour is better, somewhat oxidsed but still nice, notes of oak and dark dried fruits, not very sweet though.

Flaske (årgang 2010), på rbhd-samlinga feb-15: vi nærmer oss slutten, men stemningen fortsatt preget av optimisme og entusiasme, tross mange middelmådige og noen katastrofale øl. Rødlig kobberfarge med svært kort skum. Vinøs aroma og smak - rosiner, kandis, fiken, svisker. En god og typeriktig dubbel.

Bottle. 2010. Hazy brown liquid with small to medium light tan head. Aroma of bread, toast, dried fruit, light booze, earth and raw sugar. Taste is light to medium sweet and light bitter with notes of raw sugar, port wine, dried fruit and toast. Medium bodied with medium to high carbonation. Pretty nice but maybe a bit old.

12 ounce bottle into chalice, bottled on 2/21/2012. Pours moderately cloudy ruby copper color with a 1 finger fairly dense khaki head with good retention, that reduces to a thin lace cap that lingers. Slight spotty lacing clings on the glass, with a fair amount of streaming carbonation. Aromas of big raisin, prune, fig, pear, apple, light banana, brown sugar, toffee, toast, clove, light pepper, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Very nice aromas with good balance and complexity of fruity/earthy yeast ester and dark malt notes; with great strength. Taste of raisin, prune, fig, pear, apple, light banana, caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, brown bread, light chocolate, clove, light pepper, herbal, and yeast earthiness. Light earthy spiciness on the finish; with lingering notes of raisin, prune, fig, pear, apple, caramel, toast, toffee, brown sugar, brown bread, light chocolate, clove, and yeast earthiness on the finish for a good bit. Damn nice complexity and robustness of fruity/earthy yeast and dark/bready malt flavors; with a great malt/yeast flavor balance and zero cloying flavors after the finish. Medium carbonation and body; with a smooth and fairly slick/bready mouthfeel that is nice. Alcohol is well hidden with only a slight warming present after the finish. Overall this is a damn nice dubbel style. All around good balance, complexity, and robustness of fruity/earthy yeast and dark malt flavors; and very smooth to sip on for the ABV. A very enjoyable offering.

Sugars are explosives in this one. Butterscotch,barley sugar, brown sugar with a slight bitter finish showing orange zest, apricot and herbal notes. Alcohol is warm and strong. texture is thick. Close to a malt liquor. Olfactif: Du caramel saute au nez, un butterscotch très intense, de la cassonade; le tout enrobé d’effluves d’alcool. Du bonbon au sucre d’orge, du pain grillé. Arômes maltés et sucrés surtout. Visuel:Ambrée, floue. Mousse pétillante qui descend rapidement. Très mince. Aucune trace laissée sur le verre. Gustatif: Les accents de caramel priment en attaque. Le Butterscotch, le sucre d’orge et la cassonade explosent en accents sucrés. La finale est légèrement houblonnée et laisse paraître des notes de zeste d’orange, d’abricots et d’herbes aromatiques. La texture est onctueuse, sirupeuse; l’effervescence moyenne. Les accents sucrés et alcoolisés sont bien équilibrés. Une bière très sucrée avec une légère amertume et un alcool enveloppant. Une bière dessert plus près d’une liqueur de malt.

A 2013 750ml bottle bought at my local LCBO. Aromas of fig, booze and brown sugar. Pours with a thin minimal head, with a orange darker-brown colour. Rich sweet flavour with a strong hit of booze woith more of the dried fig flavour. Very nice beer, not blow away, but good.
