Bottled@EBF 2008. Slightly hazy orange colour with a small white head. Aroma is candysugar, some sweet malts, mild grains and a bit herbal. Flavour is grass, candysugar, mild alcohol sweetnes along with some toffee. Quite bitter finish.

Pours dark amber with a small head.Loads of sweet malt and oats on the nose, along with soft hints of spiced orange marmalades, golden syrup, pancakes and maple syrup.Similarly sweet flavours, more oatmeal, pancakes and golden syrup. Unfortunately there’s a fair whack of alcohol in the finish.Very soft carbonation could be higher, body could be thicker and more syrupy.

From a 500ml bottle on 8/4/2011. Pours a dark golden orange colour with a decent head. Has a pleasant aroma of sweet caramel malt and brown sugar. The flavour is pretty much the same, with some toffee and marmalade thrown in. The malty sweetness is quite pronounced, but it has enough hops at the end to balance things out nicely. The palate is quite creamy. All up, this a very enjoyable, well put together ale.

Bottle, 11C. 2009 vintage. Hazy copper, loose inch of light beige head, a decent amount of which is retained all the way down. Aroma is mainly grass with some cheese rind, wood, dried apricots, apples and white pepper. Deep fruit sweetness with fresh and dried red berries; some vinous character; some grapefruit sourness and spicy/ pine bitterness. I liked it a lot coldish and fresh. I suppose warmer and older might work too.

50cl Bottle brought from N-Z by a collegue. Thanks Gijs! Dark amber colour, creamy off-white head. Aroma of caramel, some alcohol and hops. Flavour is initially slightly sweet, caramel, malts, some spiciness, going towards a nice dry bittersweet and slightly alcoholic finish. Medium bodied. Good stuff. Reminds me of a less fullbodied version of Great Divide Hibernation Ale.

50cl bottle @ Vinensverden, Odense. Pours amber/orange with a white foam. Very fruity & sweet malty. Some orange & citrussy hops, a bit of caramel & dark fruits. Medium bodied. Would have liked it to be more vinous! Allright!

Bottle at EBF 08. Hazy amber with lasting beige head. Not much like an old ale, bit of mustiness I suppose. Really fruity in mouth. Good. Quite red fruity though.

100ml taster at EBF. Hazy, orange body with a fast diminishing head. Mild aroma of dark fruits. Some caramel malts in flavour. Dry palate and foamy in the mouth (12.09.2008).

Århus2008. 50 cL bottle. Pours clear and golden orange with a fully disappearing head. Mild spiced and light hoppy aroma. Light breadish and spiced flavour foes into a finish that is light spiced and a bit dull.
