bottle at Ft Wayne tasting - Pours dark amber-brown with a tan head. It has a rich malty aroma with dark fruit. The flavor is of very sweet malt, dark fruit, and some alcohol in the background that’s pretty unavoidable at 14% abv. It works though. Somehow a blend of so many malts and hops with a huge abv has produced a tasty, full bodied brew though IMO not as good as some of their previous anniversary ales.

Bottled. A deep red beer with a thin beige head. The aroma has notes of alcohol, over ripe fruits, and caramel. The flavor is sweet with notes of malt, alcohol, over ripe fruites, and brettanomyces, leading to a dry alcoholic finish, where the alcohol burns the throat.

Tasting at Papsø’s
Dark color, mahogany to brown, with red shades; medium sized head. The malt aroma is strong, caamellish, with hints of wood and vanilla, fudge. Strong and cloying mouthfeel, rather oily, with strong and sweet malty flavor; it has a strong nutty touch, with traces of bitter orange; strong bitterness too.
Quite good; big.

Bottle 65 cl. Courtesy of Elwood. Pours a clear reddish brown with a rich and lacing beige head. Very sweet caramellish aroma, some raisin notes - somewhat herbal hop character. Rich body, heavy rich caramel, some overripe fruit and nuts. Rich boozy finish. Perhaps a little sticky. 160612
