Nose is malts, bit caramel, bit vanilla, whiskey. Taste start sweet malty, bit vanilla, bit leathery, lots of whiskey in the back. Nice one.

Oak-aged spice ale with unstable, off-white head and a very fruity and rich aroma of peach, plum, woody tannins, single malt, coriander seed, brandy and madera; complex, fruity taste, sweetish with vivid spicy hints, drying coriander, smooth with a warming, woody, long and complex finish.

Cloudy brown beer, decent tan head. Toffee cream nose. Light dry palate. Toffee cream. Subtle sour and spice. Light whisky. Nice woody tones with a trace of vanilla and aniseed. Very light on it it’s toes for an 11.0% beer.

Bottle @ Odense Late March Tasting, 2012. Pours dark ruby amber with a small creamy white head. Nose is yeast, spices and vague whisky. Sweet and inviting. Sweet flavor with a warmth from alcohol, mild -very mild peated whisky, fruit , caramel and alcohol. Sweet - yet balanced and enjoyable. Hides the alcohol well.

Odense spring time specialties night at Dolle. Aroma of caramel, brown sugar, raisins, peppery spice. Sweet brown sugar and caramel flavour with spice, dried fruits, and a touch of boozy alcohol.

33 cl. bottle sampled @ Kerstbierfestival 2011: same as with his sibling beer – never even heard of this one, didn’t know it existed – A: clear red amber with an off-white red head – T: very sweet, even sweeter than the Calve Reserva but in a good way, candy sugar, syrup, strong caramel, wood, small hint of spices in the finish, overpowered by a small touch of whiskey – B: oily & slightly sticky, better than Calve Reserva, definitely good but still cannot play in the big boys league as far as BA beers are concerned
