Willemoes Påske Ale

◎ Appearance

Deep amber to light brown hue with a warm, translucent quality characteristic of its 15 SRM. The head forms with good density and displays fine Schaumhaftung as it recedes. Carbonation is moderate and even, supporting a clean, inviting presentation.

◌ Aroma

The nose leads with dark dried fruit—plum and raisin—layered beneath a substantial caramel sweetness. A subtle anise note emerges in the background, adding complexity without dominating. The malt backbone is evident, contributing a warm, toasted grain character that frames the fruit-forward profile.

◐ Taste

Full-bodied and smooth on entry, with immediate sweet caramel tones and dark stone fruit flavors that persist through the mid-palate. The 35 IBUs provide gentle restraint, appearing as a low, steady bitterness that balances the malt sweetness without asserting itself. A whisper of licorice emerges midway, grounding the composition in herbal complexity.

◑ Finish

The finish is medium-long and warming, with residual sweetness and a gentle boozy warmth at 7% ABV. The aftertaste settles into malt and stone fruit, fading gradually without harshness.
