Can (4,5% ABV) from SuperBrugsen. Pours clear reddish brown with a small off white head. Sweet malty aroma with caramel and some roasted notes. Also some hints of dark plums and rye bread. Sweet and fairly light bodied with just a hint of hoppy bitterness in the finish. Slightly more bitterness in the quite short aftertaste. Too sweet and too much caramel for my taste, but still drinkable.
