Bottle. Papsoes MadsBerg homecoming blindtasting, bottle #19. Pours hazy dark brown with an orange glare and a lacing white head. Dry smoked aroma with a mild dry woody brett note. Flavour is mild smoked and dry malt. Holds dry brett to this. Has a rather thin body despite all these strange flavours going on. Ends dry and light citric with a declining smoke flavour.

Poured up in a half pint glass from the tap at the brewery. The body has a full on haze to it carrying a copper – orange hue and thin off white head. The aroma is sweet honey, some maltiness, a hit of pepper, some Belgian candi sugar and assorted fruit notes. The taste is thick sweet malts, candi sugar and sweet citrus orange juice from the first sip. Later I get faint pepper to go along with notes of banana, prunes, sweet cinnamon and sugar coated apricots, honey and ripe red delicious apples. Never gets too tart or too sweet. Yummy offering.

Rated May 2008. Poured up in a half pint glass at the brewery via a beer engine. The body is deep rust – copper with slight haze and cool looking tan head with little off white bee bee sized foam oddities. They shrunk and were gone in a couple of minutes. The aroma is sweet nutty malts mixed with mild bourbon, some wood and faint dark fruity esters. The elixir enter silky smooth with cask hand pumped carbonation. I get wood notes bleeding slowly into sweet smooth bourbon booze, toffee and sweet nutty malts to roasty malts. The malts turn grainy for a moment before the bourbon enters in a little bit harsher form than before but not in the least bit distracting. To go along with that into the finish I get sweet roasty malts and nutty goodness. I love it when a barrel aged beer doesn’t have the base beer goodness wilt and vanish under the weight of the booze. Well done.

100th Florida brewed beer rating.
On tap at brewery. Pours up brutally cold into a tumbler with thin white head and has an opaque hazy copper and ripe orange peel edges body. Pretty full aroma for a Florida beer. I get mildly roasted malts, grapefruit rind, sweet malts and pale maltiness. Darn good dangerously sessionable brew. Starts with malt sweetness coupled with spicy hop bitterness, an earthy type note and sort of grapefruit hop bitterness. Not too hop forward of a brew since the malts grow to midway with a pleasing combination of rye malt twang and grainy maltiness that blends into biscuit and lightly roasted crystal malts. Very nice confluence of flavors. To the finish mildly roasted malts mix with a growing somewhat vague hop bitterness that lingers deep into the after taste. Dunedin is cranky out some really good stuff lately.

Pours a hazy straw-orange type hue with thin bright white head. The aroma is sugary and seems a bit like bleached white cane sugar heading toward some malty infused sweetness. To a lesser extent dark fruity esters rise up with notes of dates and prunes with hints of spice and Belgian yeast rounding the nose out in the background. The taste begins with mild yet jabbing tartness that isn’t really lemon but something in the neighborhood of lemon. Then the experience quickly becomes sweet fruitiness with minced dates and apricots sprinkled with cracked black pepper. I get a sense of sweet sugary malts creating a baseline for the flavor from front to back. It seems just a tad drying into the finish, which is nice, leaving a fruity note behind into the after taste.

On tap @ brewery. Pours clear copper with off white head. The aroma comes across as rather fruity with cherries, prunes, figs, raisins and then plenty of winter spice that seems like coriander, cinnamon and cloves. The taste is fruity too like the nose starting with semi sweet cherries and moves toward figs, prunes and dates. A mild raisin and peppery-ness cuts the sweet fruitiness for a moment as the coriander, cinnamon and cloves come to the surface. I also get a faint caramel and malt sweetness that rides along the back of the flavor experience.

on tap-pours a retaining tan head that laces and dark mahogany color. Aroma is coffee grounds. Taste is coffee grounds/chicory-dark malt, also something else but its hard to identify. Nicely done, Joe would love it, but not my style.
