Many thanks to the Vancouver guys, including fiery1, beerplace and pictoman, that sat next to us outside at Mikkeller Bar Viktoriagade. Taster poured from a dark compact bottle. Scattered lacing, film-type layer, and near-black in the glass. Attractive aromas of cocoa chocolate and dried fruits. Powerful flavours with impacts of dark chocolate, prunes, raisin, and syrup, offset by a semi-tart backdrop. Woody and oaky. Lingering ending with warming alcohol. Port impression. Enjoyable sipper. (Copenhagen, 04.05.2023).

Poured from the tap (11.9%). Cloudy amber with minimal white head. Lots of raisin, feint acetic acid; overly sweet, light vinegar; I’m late to the game, but I can see how this may have been used for Mammoth Extinction. Maybe time for a new batch of that?

Poured from the tap. Never tried it so why not? 7% ABV. Hazed gold with small white head. Feint toffee malt, a bit of pine hops, boring and a bit watery. Meh.

Poured from the tap. Hazy blonde amber with small white head. Cayenne overtakes, not much else. Meh. Boring and overly hot.
