Big light brown head. Muddy deep reddish brown body. Roasty malty aroma with peppery hop notes. Yeast, too. Yeasty rounded roasty malty taste, quite dry. Some residual sweetness. A bit watery. Soft and mild, and clean. Dry peppery aftertaste with a lingering grainy sweetness. A little chocolate as well. Nice, pleasant, and easy to drink. Mouthfeel is very muddy, probably because I let the bottle lie down in the fridge. Must rerate a standing bottle. (0,5l bottle from Fenaknoken.)

May 26, 2008 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. Also kindly supplied to me by Ole_R, from Fenaknoken, Oslo. Bottle conditioned, ABV is 4.7%. Dark copper coloured beer, hazy, with a decent off-white head. The aroma has notes of wood, mild spices, caramel and a moderate and undefined fruitiness. The flavour is distinctly fruity, moderately acidic and slightly spicy, with notes of dark münchener malts. Moderate hops in the finish.
