500 ml bottle, batch #130, at Parkteatret’s "Beer Day", Oslo. ABV is 6.0%. There are rumours that this really is the very same beer as HaandBryggeriet Påskegodt, but I find that hard to believe - Sen Sommer Ale is sweeter than I remember Påskegodt to have ever been. A side-by-side tasting is needed to settle that question, methinks. Hazy amber to orange colour, moderate head. Lovely aroma of fruity hops. Sweet flavour (slightly too much sweetness) with plenty of fruity hops. Moderately bitter finish.

500ml bottle. Reddish brown body with a thin off-white head. Aroma is sour fruity, oak, sherry and vinegar. Flavor lives much up to the expectation from aroma. It’s sour, oak, fruity, bittersweet and a bit vinegar and warming alcoholic. I’m thinking of Rodenbach Crand Cru, but it’s only in the neighborhood, still true to the Flemish sour style. Well balanced and delicious.

Very dark brown. Chewy, fudgey aroma with some burnt raisins and okinawan black sugar. Very chewy, lots of burnt raisins and a fairly strong, sweet, malt background. Nicely balanced, rounded.

50 cL bottle. Pours hazy orange with a small and shortlived head. Aroma is light citrusy and woody hoppy with a light caramel note and yeast. Smooth fruity hops flavour with a solid caramel malt base and a lasting yeasty flavour. Sweet caramel flavour into the finish with a declining bitterness. Lasting yeasty impression.

Batch 49. Pours an almost brown color but its just extremely dark red. Looks very thick and gelatin-like with the small chunks settling at the bottom of the glass. The small khaki head never fades. The strong aroma is acidic Flanders Red right off the bat. THere is a lot of super musky cherry, lots of acidity and ample barrel coming through. Its all just mixed up and turns into a lightly festering perfume thang. Taste starts sour with slightly spoiled cherry juice. there is light sweet cocoa from the malts (which I love to pick up in a Flanders Red) in the aftertaste. All of it is surrounded by acidic spikes. All this is wrapped in a medium body. Really enjoyed this and will buy again.

Bottle Pours out a amber topped with a tan head. Aroma of smoke and sweetness. Tast more of the smoke and plenty of wood. A nice brew.
