Pours amber with a small creamy head.Nose shows heavy skunk before giving way to some caramel and toffee. Also some floral hops hidden in there.Very similar flavours in the way of malt along with some cookie dough. Finishes weakly, almost bland.Nice creamy carbonation, very low though.

2017 bottleThanks Natko! Dark amber clear body, tiny white head. Light sweetish peachy and malty aroma, fine. Similar taste, light peachy maltiness, creamy, light caramel, slightly fishy. Ends dry. Not bad at all. 2010, keg... I’ll assume that I’ve had this from keg, not from cask, at Dr!nk, Tallinn (thanks Marko for letting me try it!) Poured a light amber-copper body with a thick white head. Sticky odd honeyish, slightly malty nose with light notes of vinegar. Some nice orangey hop mixing with acidity in the smooth taste. Meh, unimpressive. 5/3/6/3/11

Can, 2009-09-17 AR: hops, hunny, pear AP: copper coloured body, wee bubbly foamhead, fully lasting F: bitternes, hunny, pear, some carbornation, the ale is not what you expexted by the aroma. This sadly a poor product. I excpect that bottle and even more draft must be better (you hope).

[500ml bottle at Tara & Ian’s - cheers!] Deep amber, moderate creamy head, very little fizz. Thick, smooth mouthfeel. Heady, almost vinous aroma. The flavour is a rich mix of oak, toffee and fruit. Unfortunately the finish is a little sweet and syrup-y, which contrasts unpleasantly with the metallic bitterness of pasteurisation.

Boks 0,5l kjøpt på Systembolaget i Kiruna. Mørk gyldenbrun farge. Fint kremaktig skum. Aroma av ristet malt og frukt. Fyldig smak: Frukt og ristet malt. Behagelig. Litt brent bitterhet i ettersmaken. Bringer absolutt fram minner om cask-utgaven. KI=3
