Bottle, at Esbjerg Beerfestival. A reddish dark, amber I guess, beer with an off-white head. More or less clear body. The aroma has a strange herbal spicyness as well as malts. Thyme or gale maybe? Well, the flavor is pretty much the same, with the added joy of caramel. Medium to full body. Herbal, bitter finish. A rather strange beer, but also quite nice. Not sure if I could drink much of it though. Rating: 6-4-6-4-13-3.3. 091022

Bottle, as Skands Bison Brew. A clear, reddish dark brown beer with a small, dense, beige head. The aroma has a spiced touch in the back, with licorice notes, some dried fruits and caramel. Roasted malts, caramel, licorice, spices and herbs and some dried fruits in the flavor. Decent carbonation level, full body. Lasting spiced, licorice finish with toffee and roasted malts. A decent one, but not a beer I could drink a few of. 141025

Botle 50 cl. Pours a clear orangey brown with a delicious and creamy off-white head leaving laces. Extreme aroma of star anise. Solid body, roasted malts, caramel and resin but pretty much everything is overpowered by the star anise. No bitterness. Overly spiced. 221009

Brown with a small off-white head. Aroma is dominated by spice, but has some decent nutty malt behind it. I sense cookie spices and herbs, too dominating, but at least blending nicely together for a unique aroma. Sweetish malty flavour with the herbs and spices mostly entering the aftertaste.
