On tap at Carlsens kvarter(Odense) Dark browny red with white head. This is an old recipe from esrum monastery. It has 6 different herbs and tastes and smells of diverse spicy herbs. Unfrotunatly The body is not as thick as it promoises from the beholders eye. The finish is a bit bitter and of course spicy from the herbs. OK!

(Bottle 50 cl) An attempt at making a Danish abbey beer - and at least you gotta respect the innovative thoughts. But I’m not overly excited by the outcome. Reddish brown and hazy with a beige head. The beer is overwhelmingly dry and bitter with a marked impression from the bouquet of odd spices they put together for this brew. Weirdly the flavour I get the clearest is ginger, although that is not added. I find the spicing too much and rather inharmonious. Like unsweetened cough syrup. Interesting perhaps, but.... 041204

Dark amber color. The aroma is malty and perfumy (flowers), peculiar; I guess they used some herbs, similar to Porse or Myrth. Good malty body structure, again with the same herbal/perfumy touch, a bit fruity, mint, spicy.

Spicy, herbal (roses, mint) and lemony aroma. Hazy amber brown, big off-white foamy head. Peppery and herbal flavors, light on the finish. Hides strength very well. Somewhat lightbodied, fizzy mouthfeel. Starts out very nicely but drops the ball a bit towards the end - nevertheless a very interesting experiment.

A very hazy amber beer with a small light brown head. The aroma is light, but sweet and with notes of ginger. The flavor is also sweet, slightly spicy with ginger standing out as the predominant. An OK beer, but for an abbey ale (which it is supposed to resemble) it is quite boring, not spicy enough and not powerful enough. I had a Chimay Bleu afterwards to do a comparison, and this one comes nowhere close. I’m a little disappointed - I had expected more.
