Denne ol er håndbrygget med stor omhu og på verdens reneste vand. Vandet stammer fra den grønlandske indlansis, some ca. er 180.000 år gammel og mere end 3km tyk. Det enorme tryk midt på, presser isfjelde ud i de mange fjorde. Fiskerne har i deres små fiskekuttere udvalgt de små isfjelde, der bliver smeltet og anvendt i denne ol. Øllet er herefter transporteret tværs over Atlanten og har derfor været langt undervejs, for at kunne nydes med stot velbehag.
This beer is hand-brewed with great care and with the world's purest water. The water comes from the Greenland ice sheet, which is approximately 180,000 years old and more than 3km thick. The enormous pressure in the middle pushes icebergs out into the many fjords. The fishermen have selected the small icebergs in their small fishing boats to melt and use in this beer. The beer is then transported across the Atlantic and has therefore come a long way, in order to be enjoyed with great pleasure.

Slightly over-spicy for me, in a Christmas sense, but cool Greenland tick, thanks Bruno V.!

03/11 0.5 l bottle courtesy of ogivlado, thanks for sharing! New country count. It poured red to brown body with medium sized ocher head. Nice malty caramel and fruity ale yeast in aroma. Slightly sweet flavor, caramelly, very pleasant, but BB date passed 7 months ago, which is definitely felt here. Simple, with medium body. Finishes shortly with some darker fruits. It’s fine in this shape as well, but if only it was fresh.

Bottle that ogivlado received in a trade with faroeviking (thanks!), shared with him and heavy. Poured a nice red body tinged with amber. Medium-small beige head that went away slowly. A nice fruity malty nose, jam, some grain, nut and dust. Dry, bitterish taste at first, hop, notes of alcohol, stale dusty yeastiness (it’s a bit old), but then malt shows up.. sweetish honey, bubblegum, pomegrenate... nice maltiness. This was quite nice fresh I guess and not all that bad in this state as well.

500ml bottle (bb.01.04.08) bought at Barley Wine, Copenhagen in January 07. Deep, dark mahogany body colour with ruby highlights. The head is not more than a thin ring of bubbles. Aroma of dark berries and malt. Initial fruity tartness soon overrun by candy sweetness with hints of slightly roasted malts. Medium bodied (23.12.2007).

Dark brown color. Caramel aroma, a bit fruity. Medium body, dry caramel flavor with delicate cinnamon touch. Maybe a bit dry in the end, but not bad.
