Bottle, 2004 vintage. A clear, dark brown beer with a small, tan head. Some oxidation, roasted and slightly burnt malts, a hint of licorice and dried fruits on the nose. The flavor also has a little oxidation, along with roasted malts and coffee. Some chocolate too. Full-bodied. A bit short on the finish. It’s a quite nice beer, but 5 years in the cellar is certainly more than it can take. Rating: 6-4-6-4-13-3.3. (090327)
Bottled. Very dark brown, with a lasting light tan head. The beer looks, and probably is, clear. Quite mild aroma with coffee. chocolate, some alcohol and roasted notes. The flavor is quite roasted and sweet, with some alcohol. Creamy, full body, and a finish with chocolate, coffee and some drying bitterness. I remember I thought this was one of the most exciting Danish beers. (060520)
