3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 14/20 Rune (6125) - Tromsø, NORWAY - MAR 10, 2013
500ml bottle, batch RØ264, picked up at Vinmonopolet Vika, Oslo. Oily pour revealing a brownish head with a solid stand and spotty lacing to the glassware. Vanilla, aniseed and chocolate nose. Rugged grainy malts in flavour, slightly roasted and mid-sweet, and added by dark fruits. Bittersweet liquorice to the finish. Ashy dry palate. Smooth on the swallow. Good, even though I had expected more from this one (at home in Tromsø, 01.02.2013).

Medium dark brown head. Opaque black body. Roasty burnt aroma

taste with mealy strawy vanilla notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, mealy
mouthfeel. Dryish mealy earthy caramel pudding aftertaste with

character, although perhaps a little bit over the top as far as
roastiness goes. (0.5l bottle, wine monopoly, Vika, Oslo. Batch
