A rich fruity wine-like complexity on the palate includes fresh and dried fruits, warm exotic spice and light summer citrus fruits. Sophisticated, satiny smooth with a deceptively light character.

(Bottle) Clear dark ruby with small tawny head. Aroma has hops, toffee, grass and spice. Full bodied creamy and very smooth palate. Flavour starts rich and sweetish with toffee and dried fruit. Then develops nicely balancing spicey flavours with a restrained bitter finish. Overall, very impressive.

0,33 flaske innført av og delt med bryggervenn Ovesen:Nydelig mørk rubinfarge. Maltsødme, humler og abv går opp i en fruktig og meget balansert helhet. God munnfylde. So smooth. Fare for skallebank oppstår neppe etter den første flasken.

Bottle - Sweet malts, berries and alcohol. Rich clear dark amber with a nice medium off white head. Creamy mouth feel. The alcohol is there from beginning to end, but actually is quite pleasant. Malts and red fruits abound, but not too acidic. No real bitterness to speak of. Very nice stomach warming beer.

A kick awaits after you swallow, like a quick flash of scotch. Mouthfeel is overall watery, but aroma and flavor are quite sharp. Alcohol is apparent in burn, but taste reminds me of the whiskey barrel aged beers I’ve tried. Different

330 lm bottle. Snifter shows deep brown with ruby like shades without much head or lace. Nose and flavors mirror. Dark fruit, ( raisins, grapes) molasses, brown sugar and caramel malt. Texture is sticky and sweet. Fuller body. The sweetness hides the ABV. Real nice brew.

This smells like a booze bomb. Tastes bitter from the outset. Theres a touch of cherry in here and a little bit of some kind of christmas cake. Its a little unsatisfying overall. Bottle from the health food shop in lebanon.
