Rune (24577) - Tromso, NORWAY - JAN 29, 2023UPDATED: JAN 29, 2023 330ml can bought from djoeye. The oily pour reveals a tan head with big bubbles over a near-black body, spotty lacing. Promising aromas of roasted chocolate malts. Flavoured with caraamel-chocolate, hints of liquorice, and dark bread. Roasted bitter ending, boozy. Well bodied. Pretty good. (Tromsø 28.01.2023).

Basically black. Initially hard to pull a head, but once I'd cracked the surface tension, it built up a lovely tight beige head, even creamy at the bottom, and spongier at the top - my absolute favourite head! Sweet and savoury aroma. There's the treacly sweetness, but there's a soyey-seaweedy-umami-ish thing going on too. Full palate, smooth, a little sweet and sticky, but not slick or heavy. Sweet treacly roast, quite burnt, and bitter therefrom. After that, it's a little bit dull; a sweet burnt finish; erm, yeah, you could have guessed that anyway. Alcohol easily covered behind that sweetness. Beers that make you go 'hmmm...???'.
