500ml bottle, courtesy Fonefan I think, best before February 2009, tasted in January 2010. Murky red colour. Fruity aroma with some aniseed and caramel. Sweet caramel malt on the palate with spicy, fruity notes in the background. Light tartness on the finish. Judging from my previous experience of Fjordens beers, I doubt it would have been much better fresh. Overall, not bad though. Certainly palatable.

UPDATED: APR 13, 2009 Bottle. I avoided pouring the sediments, the beer presents itselves with a translucent, copper body and an off-white excuse for a head. There’s just enough bubbles to cover half of the surface. The nose is quite sweetish, with evident hay aroma and some roast. It is so thin, it’s almost like drinking water, and the flavor isn’t much to brag about either. There’s some roast and notes of coffee, and it is sweetish with a little sour note and a bitterness towards the end. Drainpour. Rating: 3-2-3-1-6-1.5. (071019)
Bottle. A clear, deep golden beer with a small, off-white head. Some alcohol notes in the aroma, along with some caramel, hops and dried fruits. Alcohol in the flavor too, without the beer feeling warm. Quite bitter flavor with caramel and some fruity notes. Medium to full-bodied and quite dry. Bitterness in the finish. Decent, nothing more, and this time it was drinkable. (090327)
