330ml bottle from <a href=http://www.meny.no/butikker/default.as target=blank>Meny in Oslo, Norway. Clear brown in colour, lasting beige coloured head, some nice lacing. The aroma was of bittersweet chocolate, very light molasses, light caramel malt roast, some licorice. The flavour was malty (chocolate, caramel/toffee), medium sweetness, small roast. Fizzy mouthfeel, medium body, medium/high carbonation. Finishes with a light bitterness, dry at the very end. Not bad just not really interesting.

Bottle , tested 4/6-05. Dark red body, with a nice big foam.Aroma of sweet maltynes and coffee.Medim body with a medium nice bitter finish. This beer is best on cask.

Deep dark red body, smallish creamy offwhite head. Slightly acidic, spicy aroma. Cinnamon? Pepper? Lovely, deep, sweetish malty cinnamon taste with roasty cinnamon aftertaste. Quite complex. Roasty pepper taste lingers. An excellent bayer! Easily the best in Norway. (0.5l on tap.)
