750 bottle courtesy of SuzyGreenberg at Uber Tavern. Pour is cloudy orange golden. Aroma of fruity sweet grass. Taste is really nicely melded, soft sweetness, fruity orange hoppiness. Finish has some slight heat, doesn’t detract at all though. Palate is medium, holds up to the big flavors but is still quite drinkable. Nice beer.

1700 century celebration for me. Hazy copper beer with a long lasting big off-white head. Aroma has grapefruit, leather, freshly mowed lawn, and behind it, a nice little touch of fruity Belgian yeast. Dry and very complex flavour. It begins fruity with grapefruit, pear, pineapple, then comes a big dose of spicy continental hop flavour. Finishes chalky dry with a touch of alcohol. A fine tribute to the ever interesting Orval.

Another century celebrated with a Mikkeller beer, this time 10400. A reddish amber beer with a medium tan head. The aroma is sweet with notes of fruit especially citrus fruits, grapefruits and limes as well as notes of brettanomyces giving it a slight acidity. The flavor is a mixture of sweet and sour - the sourness is like a very sour grapefruit, but also with notes of peaches, brettanomyces, hay, and grass, leading to a quite dry and tart finish. Nice.

[2 years vintage - To celebrate my 1800th rating – Thanks a million yespr for making this happen!] Black with medium brown head. Sweet vinious aroma with notes of roasted malt, hops, whiskey, dark bitter chocolate and coffee. Sweet and hoppy flavor with whiskey, hard roasted malt, dark chocolate and coffee notes. Huge complexity and very well balanced. Ends with solid bitterness and warming alcohol.

(Tasted twice at Pikkulintu, on 2008-04-18 and on 2008-04-22 ) Pitch black. Good sized brown head. Alchol and some fruitiness in nose. Alcohol in palate. Fruity taste containing black currant flavours. Some chocolate. Roasted malts which give some bitterness. Light sweetness. Hops. Too young, probably.

First rating(375 ml bottle that my lovely wife bought for me in Denmark)On May 10, 2008BB 12/12/17Black color, brown head. Salty, roasted, chocolate, coffee and alcohol scent. Oak, dry, malty, roasted, alcohol taste. Hot warming alcohol feeling. Smooth mouthfeel, medium bitterness. Some dandelion inside (when you lick it). There were 7 of us on this, we didn’t finish the bottle. My wife ended up drinking it to her pizza. Nice smell, but the taste was very harsh and very unbalanced, I’d say for my part it’s very overrated at the moment while this young.7/4/4/2/7=2.4RerateBottle from a friendOn February 14, 2009Black color, brown head. Smoother scent than last time, but all the more so a smooth taste than last time. Still way too evident alcohol in both scent and taste. Also the harshness and the roasted is too much for me. It’s easier to "drink" than last time, but we still poured most of it out.6/4/4/2/7=2.3RerateDraught at Bishops Arms Järntorget, Göteborg.

Bottle, 13.1%. Sweet and roasted aroma with a nice, grassy hoppiness. Very black colour, small fizzy brown head. Oily mouthfeel. The flavour is very roasted with roast barley bitterness. Also quite sweet with a grassy hoppiness. There is a sharp alcohol bite at the end, to be expected, of course. Perhaps a bit unbalanced, but it could be worse, and I do not really mind unbalanced beers. 7 3 8 3 18

Bottle, 13.1%. Powerful aroma, malt syrup and a little coffee to begin with. Then comes a distinct alcohol aroma with some paint thinner. Almost black colour, seems clear with a red shine. Big stable lacy creamy brown head. The flavour is very sweet and very bitter with a good dose of roast barley. Creamy with a sugary malt syrup note. Quite spicy. Sort of well-balanced even though it is quite powerful. Mild bite in the finish, more like hops than alcohol, I guess. 8 4 8 4 16

Bottle, 12.0%. Sweet caramelly aroma, there seems to be some hop in there, too. Seemingly clear dark brown colour. Very small tan head. The flavour starts off very caramelly and smooth. Turns into a sharp, but not unpleasant, alcohol bitterness. Finishes with a little cleansing hop bitterness and some grassy aroma hop. Mild carbonation, suitable. A rough beer, but I like it.
