3.8 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 15/20
Rich brown colour. Hefty toffee and crystal malt - good velvety body. Lovely hops in the finish. Nice lingering aftertaste. Excellent for 4%.
3.4 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 14/20
Light brown color. Nose is very malty with roasted barely, earthy, wood and a touch of caramel. Light body. Very malty. Lingering earthy finish.
2.3 AROMA 4/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 4/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 8/20
Beautiful clear dark copper body with a big close to creamy light-brown head with some big bubbles. The head is fairly long-lived but before the glass is empty the only remains are a thin film in addition to a ring of foam along the wall. Good lacing. The aroma is probably the faintest aroma from an ale I’ve ever experienced! Faint yeasty notes, faint metal and even fainter fruits are all I get. The taste is similarly faint and boring: a light sweetness with a light bitter finish, while the faint flavour is toasted with caramel and fruits. The mouthfeel is a bit thin and the finish is light metallic, but the texture is quite smooth and pleasant. Mild ale is definitely not my style.
[50 cl bottle, enjoyed 1 month after BB date, from Jacobs på Holtet, Oslo]
