Can shared in Oldmeldrum. It pours deep brown with a decent tan head. The aroma is sweet, oily, meaty, marmite and malt loaf. The taste is sweet, sticky, so sweet, heavy sugary alcohol, treacle, crazy sugary, sugared plums, cherry cola and date with a sugary finish. Light body and fine carbonation. So god. Dam sweet.

50 cl can from Nettó. Dark brown colour with a thin lightly tanned head. Sweet aroma with caramel, liquorice, brewing wort, brown sugar. Taste is sweet. Light body with a thin texture and a soft carbonation. Short, sweet finish with brown sugar and caramel. Reminds me of the American Root beer or the Danish hvidtøl. This was what the poor Icelandic people could drink before the ban on beers disappeared in 1989...

Can sample at a tasting at Max’s place. Thanks Lior D. Dark brown. Aroma of wort, caramel, malt, grape juice, paper, and a licorice note. Sweet flavor with caramel, wort, grape juice, licorice. Light-bodied, kinda sticky. Not my thing.

(Can, 0.5 l, courtesy of rosenbergh, 20111229) The beer poured dark brown and clear. Its head was light brown and medium sized. Aroma was excessively sweet with at least treacle, molasses and plum. Palate was medium bodied and sticky with medium carbonation. Flavours were excessive sweetness, molasses and treacle. Aftertaste was unfortunately there and it was also sweet and sweet and sweet. Afwul.

500ml can, thanks to Sveinbjørn for sharing some of his beverage with me on his mothers birthday 23.Apr.2011. According to Sveinbjørn this was very tasty and worth spending the day looking forward to open. He also told me that drinking Malt Extrakt is a part of Icelandic Easter Tradition. Dark brown body, with a little fizz. Sweet malt aroma, hints of caramel and licorice. Obviously the taste was sweet to, and totally mirrored the aroma. It didn’t quite meet my expectations, but I think it was due to the already mentioned hype...
