Bottled - tasted blind. A hazy amber beer with a thin orangey head. The aroma is sweet malty combined with notes of over ripe fruits. The flavor is sweet with dusty notes of hops, over ripe fruit, and lots of alcohol, leading to a dry bitter finish.

(Bottle 75 cl9 Slightly hazy amber golden with tiny floating impurities and a yellowish/beige head. Sweetish aroma of caramel and overripe fruit. Medium body with a low carbonation and a soft mouthfeel. Sweetish notes of caramel and overripe fruit and a whiff of aroma hops. Very subdued bitterness. 260708

2005 bottle. Cloudy dark amber. Heavy caramel, with rich earth to it. Light caramel and earth character, but the body is big and it’s surprisingly boozy. At times this could pass for a barley wine, yet does not have any forcefulness of character.

From bottle #4 at sk8vikings American blind tasting. Pours hazy orange with a fully diminished off-white head. Dry wooden and malty dense aroma. Dry malty and mildly spiced and caramel dense flavour. Spiced and malty finish. Dry.
