Sigmund (3710) - Hafrsfjord, NORWAY - FEB 25, 2012
Shared bottle at local tasting, ABV 8.5%. Very dark brown colour, moderate beige head. Strong malty and alcoholic aroma and flavour, hints of honey. A bit better than average, but not really my cup of tea.

Bottled, 330ml from La Cave de L’Estam, Verdun, France. Dark brown with cream head. Honeyed but also slightly tart beer, fruity, apricot, plum with the overlaid syrupy note. Quite heavy on the palate, there is a roasty malt background too. Reasonable.

Gurthnar (172) - SLOVAK REPUBLIC - JAN 14, 2012
On tap. Very dark ruby colour, almost black. Large frothy head, good duration. Aroma of caramel, notes of cherry, roasted. Overall complex. Higher ABV is noticeable in mouth, but nothing dramatic. Taste initially very sweet, a slight bitterness appears after a while. Medium duration of finish. Medium to heavy body. Overall quite complex beer, well balanced, good drink.
