Smells and tastes a little like apple cider. A little too heavy alcohol taste that grows milder. Also a little spicy. This is an okay beer but not close to the 12. It was more than half a year ago that I had one of these and I remember it as much better than it is now.

Not being a fan of frozen beer this is a positive surprise. Scents of smoke and banana and tastes even more of banana. Even some oregano is there and it is very drinkable. Sweet and fresh at the same time.

A smell of stable and bacon. Taste of citrus and heavy alcohol. Pretty fresh and a typical French strong beer. Nothing special at all.

Coffe and jam. A little too sweet for my liking but still drinkable.

A little too mild to be a porter for me. Nice notes of juniper berries, coffee and licorice but I want more than just subtle notes in a porter. Still drinkable and ok.

That's some strong beer, congrats on surviving to write about it!
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I shared four of those five bottles with the host of the party. On the other hand I had two bottles of Oppigårds Amarillo Spring and one bottle of Dugges ½ Idjit all by myself.
