Bottle thanks to bu11zeye. Pours with a golden body and a light head. Aroma is grainy and bitter. Taste is bready, grassy and bitter. Fizzy and dry. A decent, but not great Kolsch.

(Bottle, Oliver Twist, Stockholm) Clear amber colour with brief, off-white head. Malty, fruity nose with notes of caramel, orange peel, apricots and fresh, floral hops. Malty, slightly fruity taste with citrus, rose petals, caramel, grainy malt and floral hops in a moderately bitter finish. Medium body, well balanced sweetness. Tasty and refreshing beer.

This was the XV, cellared for just under a year. Clear dark garnet with a full, tan head that dissipates quickly. Complex aroma that has dark dried fruits, prunes,raisins,caramel and vanilla. Complexly flavored sweetness tempered by a soft lingering hop bitterness. This should age well.

This is so much better on tap at the brewery than bottled.

Bomber from Footbalm, sahred by Odeed! Thanks Eric and Jake!! Bottled in 2008. Nose of bourbon, vanilla, prunes, and woody oak. Clear cherry brown with a small lightly lacing beige head. Tastes of bourbon, vanilla, dark fruit, and tobacco musty note that seems like a cross between a barleywine and an old ale. Must be the two years in the barrel.

Bottle on 10/25/2009. Slightly hazy copper orange body with a medium foamy off-white head. Spicy aroma, some banana, and lots of nutmeg. Sweet nutmeg and light cinnamon flavor, with a pumpkin background. Medium body with moderate carbonation.

Bottle on 10/24/2009. Clear golden body with a medium frothy white head. Sweet floral and pale malt aroma. Sweet floral hop flavor with some slightly grainy pale malt. Medium light body with moderately low carbonation.

This beer poured with almost no head, even though I used a glass that elicits lots of foam usually. Its a clear pour, no murkiness near the end, so it seems like a filtered product. There are small and sparse visible bubbles traveling throughout the beer. The aroma hits you strong with a sweet Belgian yeast and candy character followed by a hefty clove character. It is not subtle, it hits your nose and sticks around. A bit of a malted cereal character just sitting back there as well. Taste is candy sweetness with lots of esters in there. The esters are not distinct, some light banana, some light bubblegum, just a general ester character. Finishes of drier than expected, but not dry. A slight herbal character as well. A faint hop character is felt in the light bitterness at the back end to round it off. I can see why this beer gets such low ratings but this is my type of beer. In general I like the Belgian character and when it is a bit too sweet its still fine. Again, I like the right kind of overly sweet beer and a Belgian sweetness is alright by me.
12oz, bottled on 09/03/08, couldn’t tell it was that old, in a Duvel tulip glass.
