(on bottle at RBESG 2005)A clear bottle? Brown colour, white head. malt, but very mild. Also a mild carbonation, no trace of alcohol here either, maybe the malts are too much for the mere 6,6%?

This one was awarded the best beer in norway award in 2011. That’s an ridiculous choice when you see all the beers of Nøgne Ø, Haandbryggeriet, Kinn and Ægir as some examples. It has aroma af caramel malts, some chocolate and coffee, and a bitter and alcohol-characterized finish. Dark brown colour with a white head. An okey beer, but has some to go to the best ones I’ve tried.

330 ml clear glass bottle, doesn’t look promising. Nice mouthfeel. Notes of medium roast coffee, caramel and malt sweetness. Perfectly decent bock.

Alexus (150) - Stavanger, NORWAY - MAR 20, 2012
330ml botte. Initially I was really pessimistic about this beer. But it surprised me. Copperbrown in color, with a light tan head. Leaves nice lacing down the glass. Aromas of sweet malts and dark fruits. Flavors of sweet malts, biscuits, prunes and raisins. A nice alco. warmth to the end. I liked it...

Foffern (283) - Bergen, NORWAY - JAN 10, 2012
Bottle at home. Dark reddish brown colour with thin light beige head. Sweet aromas of berries, leather and chocolate. More dark chocolate in the mouth along with leather. A very slick mouthfeel. The taste is okay but a little bit too sweet in my opinion.

BillHick420 (121) - North Dakota, USA - JAN 6, 2012
Pours dark brown with a slightly tanned head. Aroma of dark sweet malts, hints of Christmas spices, and brown sugar. Unbalanced, as there is a wall of sweetness, and no bitterness detectable. However, this beer is supposed to be sweet, I like it that way.

gunnar (2634) - Sandnes, NORWAY - DEC 29, 2011
Bottle from Vinmonopolet. Pours dark brown with a big creamy beige head. Aroma of caramel malts. Taste is moderate sweet malts, with some prunes and raisins as well, and a light alcohol bite at the end. Harsh bitter aftertaste.

Cunningham (1940) - Halden, NORWAY - OCT 30, 2011
UPDATED: MAR 4, 2012 Bottle from Vinmonopolet in Halden, Norway. Amber/black body with a beige head. Rich roast barley and caramel nose. Well blended sweet malty background with coffee, caramel and toffe flavour.

mile (1447) - Helsinki, FINLAND - OCT 4, 2011
Bottle. Dark amber, small to average and fully diminishing light brown head. Moderate, malty and caramel sweetish aroma, light fruitiness and light roasted malt. Body is medium, malty and sweet flavor, caramel - light toffee light and light roasted malt, faint fruitiness. Finish is average, malty and sweetish, caramel and light roasted malt. Caramel sweet bock - way too sweet
