(Draft at Akkurat, Stockholm, 17 Apr 2026) Dark reddish brown colour with frothy, beige head. Malty, slightly roasty nose with caramel, dried fruit, liquorice, burnt sugar and a touch of leather. Malty, slightly roasty taste with notes of caramel, dried fruit, raisins, crisp-bread, liquorice, coffee and a balanced spicy bitterness in a warming finish. Full body, with a certain sweetness. Rich, complex and quite powerful. Very nice.

Tight off white head stayed on a reddish brown still body. Huge aroma of leather & stewed fruit. Full bodied, heavy, sticky & cloying on the palate. Bitter/Sweet tastes with stewed fruit, malt, pith, bitter hops, faint smoke, marmalade & woody tastes with long tangy finish. Excellent.

330ml bottle bought at Vinmonopolet Aker Brygge a year ago. Firm off-white head to a bright copper coloured body. Clingy lacing. Promising aroma of dried fruits, almond and bread. Mixed taste profile of mid-sweet dried fruits, almond and brown mats. Warmth for the alcohol to a lingering rather sweet dried fruity ending. Heavy to drink. Alright slow sipper. (Shared with djoeye and Finn, rating session in Tromsø 08.11.2017).
