3.2 AROMA 5/10 APPEARANCE 4/5 TASTE 6/10 PALATE 4/5 OVERALL 13/20
500ml bottle, trade with Skinnyviking. Deep dark brown body, good amount of lacing from a firm, beige head, some of it remaining. Mild aroma of earth and caramel joined by a spicy touch. Substantial impact of spices and herbs in the flavour alongside roasted malts offering hints of caramel and nuts. Long lived bittersweet and semi-dry ending. Quite easy to drink – and to like. Good (hotel room, Copenhagen, 21.03.2013).

500 ml bottle, Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 8.0%. Beautiful deep reddish brown colour, moderate off-white head with good retention. Nice aroma of caramel, also mild spicy notes. The flavour is spicy and complex with notes of caramel and dark dried fruits, esp. raisins. Some hoppy bitterness in the finish, slightly sharp in the aftertaste.
