Copenhagen 21/8 2021. 37,5 cl hey glass bottle from Ølkassen web-shop. Hoppe.beer's usual elegant label design in brown, black and gold.

Pours murky maroon with clumps of yeast whirling about. Small bubbly off-white head. Disappears after a few seconds leaving only a thin patchy layer of foam unable of covering the surface of the beer. No lacing.

Aroma is medium intense with a sweet, malty scent mingling with strong fumes of dark alcohol and light whiff of wood. Brown sugar and toffee. Raisins and plums. Sweet liqueur and a touch of Cognac.

Light carbonation. Thick, oily, slightly greasy, almost flat texture.

Flavor is intense with a strong sweetness followed by a medium strong sourish bitterness. Aftertaste is sweet with a bitter undertone. Strong presence of alcohol. Lingering. Finish is sweet yet dry.

A bit flat and more liqueur than liquor.
