Bottle@yesprs - Orange Amber pour with white head. Sweet malty with notes of caramel and toffee, some fudge, a plethora of dark dried fruit, some brown sugar, light spice into the close. Decent.

0.33 l bottle from 'Slik for Voksne', 2016 vintage, best before November 2026. Hazy, ruby with a few off-white bubbles on top of it. Sweetish-malty, gently fruity and a bit boozy aroma of strawberry jam, raisins, prunes, caramel, honey and some bourbon (?). Fairly sweet, malty, gently fruity taste of raisins, strawberry jam, prunes, vanilla, honey, bourbon and some orange peel, followed by a long, moderately bitter, gently boozy finish. Full body, almost oily mouthfeel, very soft carbonation. Expectedly rich, saturating and boozy sipper, aged very well. One to enjoy in front of the fireside, not by the pool.
