Tasting at Papsø
Dark mahogany color, small head. Aroma of egg, sugar floss, caramel, dust; oxidised. Slim body, thinner than expected, with dusty caramel flavor, light cabbage and puckery. Not good.

Bottle 35,5 cl. Courtesy of Kasper Thor Larsen. Pours a dark orangey brown with a small off-white head. Lots of pumpernickel and roasted malts in the nose. Solid body, sweet burned caramel and pumpernickel with a light cinnamon touch. No real bitterness, but ends fairly dry. Scaringly no real traces of the alcohol. 100410

12 oz bottle from GM Liquors. Nose of fresh raspberries and not much else. Lightly hazy gold-pink color with a medium pale pink head. Flavor is fruity raspberries and a hint of bitterness. Decent fruit beer.

Lobotomy Bock pours a dark reddish brown with a quickly dissipating head, nothing to complain about. The smell is a different story. The aroma is sweet, thin and hoppy with a slight twinge of alcohol. It’s bad news but an accurate announcement of the coming experience. Much like the aroma, the taste is thin and sweet with some nuttiness and malt, which is almost nice. The best notes are upfront, giving way to a watery finish. At 5-6% abv, this beer would have received higher marks. As a Doppelbock and at a reported 10.8% abv (a dirty, dirty lie), this beer is entirely too sweet and seriously lacking body. In addition, the carbonation is quite weak and the sweetness makes my cheeks cringe a bit. I had trouble finishing it. Thin, sweet and under-carbonated.

Picked up at Keg and Barrel 15th street in Plano, TX. 12oz bottle pours up deep gold with a touch of haze to go along with copper hues and weak loose off white head. The aroma has a disjointed mix of caramel, maltiness and sharply bitter smelling grapefruit. The taste is similar starting with a brief nearly tasteless sweet note that gets clobbered by carbonation enhanced sharp to tart to nearly sour citrus bitter notes. It sort of stays citrus tart and almost sour into the finish.

Picked up at Keg and Barrel 15th street in Plano, TX. 12oz bottle pours up dark brown to black with short lived loose mocha head. The aroma is nice with chocolate mixing with dark roasted malts, a touch of caramel and a dash of burnt malts. The aroma is very subtle at times but I find it inviting. The taste begins smooth and somewhat neutral in flavor. It quickly becomes mildly chocolate and burnt. To midway and into the finish it picks up a modest level of caramel – toffee – medium roastiness that helps bring balance to the flavor and bring also some mild dryness into the finish. I like this. The wife does too.

Bottle from Whole Foods. Pours black with a foamy tan head. Light smoky aroma with some underlying black malt. Medium body with foamy carbonation. Flavor is more smoky than the aroma. Kind of wood smoked bacon suggestion. Finishes smoky. Actually pretty good smoked ale.
