Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a black color with a medium sized creamy tan head. The aroma was tangy with light cocoa, a touch of wood and light vanilla. The flavor was bitter, malty, toasty and semi-sweet with notes of vanilla, wood and smoke. The beer turns a bit dry towards the finish with notes of wood and vanilla lingering. Fairly full bodied. Interesting.

The 2009 version is 9.5% alcohol. Sampled on draft at the brewery this beer poured a very dark brown color with a large tan head. The aroma was dryish, nutty and tangy with a touch of raisin and cherry. The flavor was dry, nutty and malty with notes of raisin, fennel and bourbon with a slight medicinal undertone. Long finish. Moderately full bodied. The alcohol shows through a bit too much. Ok.

The flavor was bitter and tart cherries with sweet caramel, molasses and brown sugar. The finish was long with tart cherries and brown sugar. Thick and full bodied. A bit of alcohol shows through. Well done.

Bottled - too bad it wasn’t a partyfass. A hazy golden beer with a lazing beie head. The aroma has notes of over ripe fruits, malt, alcohol, and some medicin. The flavor is very sweet with strong notes of fruit leaning on being over ripe as well as notes of wood, and malt, leading to a dry finish. Thanks MadsBerg for opening it and Papso for sharing.

Bottle 75 cl. Pours a clear deep golden with a small white head. Sweet oxidized fruity aroma. Solid body, sweet overripe fruit, again somewhat oxidized but never unpleasant. Vague yeasty nose and a whiff of phenols but hardly any bitternes. Old but aged with grace. 231109
