Aroma piuttosto classico dello stile con sentori leggermente nocciolati e luppolati; gusto discretamente intenso con note di malto abbrustolito e un retrogusto amaro e piuttosto asciutto. Morbida e setosa, una birra semplice e di facile beva.

3.2 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 13/20 dexcansino (249) - Andalucía, SPAIN - MAR 10, 2013
Cerveza negra, con corona de espuma densa y color marrón claro. Sabor tostado, con fondo a café. Buen equilibrado dulce-amargo. Gas vivo al principio de la boca. Pero le falta sabor al final.

2.6 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 Palme (2234) - Bergen, NORWAY - FEB 26, 2013
0.25l bottle. This is a clear deep dark red one with a medium sized light lacing off-white top. A bit sweet and dark caramel on the nose, red fruits also. Quite classic and not bad. A bit more unusual in the taste. It’s kinda watery I have to admit a bit dull. I get a reference to sweet warm lower water, even if it’s almost fridge-cold. Strange. Thin almost watery on the mouthfeel and it’s about average on the carbonation level. It has a sugary sweetness that reminds me of the taste you get after you have swallowed cola ice. No bitterness to mention. A cute little bottle, and it’s easier to drink than water, just wish it was a bit more bock in the beer. It probably works well in the Barcelona sun, but Norwegian winter devil demands a bit more of a bock. 07.02.2013
2.7 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 larsga (5325) - Oslo, NORWAY - FEB 17, 2013
Medium beige head. Clear deep dark red body with light
carbonation. Sugary earthy toffee aroma with dried fruit notes.
Sweetish papery earthy taste. Mid-bodied. Mild, smooth
mouthfeel. Dry-sweetish sugary earthy aftertaste with papery
buttery notes. Well. Not much point to this one. Barely any
taste at all. (0.25l bottle, wine monopoly.)
2.4 AROMA 3/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 10/20 ruigo (276) - PORTUGAL - FEB 3, 2013
Drunk it in a 25cc bottle in the airport. It’s a very suave dark beer and quite light. Light in density and light in flavour. Although I enjoyed the label and the pleasure I took from drinking it.
3.2 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 12/20 bu11zeye (11111) - Frisco (Dallas), Texas, USA - FEB 1, 2013

3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 ClubGonzo (2695) - Bergen, NORWAY - JAN 27, 2013
Bottle. Dark brown body with a ruby hued and a small, off-white head. Nose is caramel, biscuits, bread, nuts and hints of chocolate and alcohol. Taste is roasted bread, caramel, nuts, and hints of chocolate and dry straw. Medium to full body, medium carbonation. Perhaps not the most complex of bocks, but very easy drinking and a well done execution of the style makes me think this is a rather underrated beer.
2.4 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 5/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 9/20 sfuen03 (139) - Barcelona, SPAIN - DEC 21, 2012
Dark color, cupper glitters, small head which vanishes quickly. Aroma is malty with dark fruits. Very light, very easy to drink, but not very tasty. Decent.
