3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Ljunkan (521) - Drammen, NORWAY - SEP 9, 2009
Bottle at Bishops Arms. Pours a brown color with a mediumsized, remaining white head. Aroma is lightly vinous with berries, dried fruits, toffee and candy. Flavour is quite sweet and malty with lots of toffee/caramel, dried fruits, candy, and some light spices. Mediumbodied with quite lively carbonation, it corrodes (?) a bit on the tounge, and it’s lightly creamy. Nice beer, but not superb. Now, finally, I’ve tried beers from all trappist breweries.
