4.4 AROMA 9/10 APPEARANCE 5/5 TASTE 8/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 18/20
Maybe the best beer ever made in Norway and by far the best beer ever made from Ringnes (at least in my years)
Beautiful dark colour and lots and lots of aromas. Ringnes should be proud of this excellent beer
3.4 AROMA 6/10 APPEARANCE 3/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 15/20
Sweet caramel nose, dark dark brown color, big spongy head. Maple syrup tastes, caramel, with a fizzy fruitiness. Cinnamon spiciness. Thick body with an alcohol kick that heightens the intensity of things.

Nice big foamy hazelnut brown head, leaving laces. Dark mahogony color. Toasted malt and tabacco nose. Intense almond taste, also maple syrup. The alcohol is not that tastable, numbs the tongue though ;-)
3.7 AROMA 7/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 7/10 PALATE 3/5 OVERALL 16/20
Bottle. Sweet, roasted aroma, though not very powerful considering the ABV. Very dark brown colour, small stable head. The flavour is nice. Powerful and peppery with notes of liquorice and roasted malt. I sense a little fruituness behind the other flavours. The alcohol is nicely noticeable. Pleasant, low carbonation.
