Extraordinary, medal-winning dark session beer. A blend of 5 malts give a smooth, mellow easy to drink beer with a hint of liquorice in the finish. There are berry fruits, sweet molasses and coffee on the nose.

Gylden klar mørk brun med varende beige skum. Karamell, malt og hint av tropisk frukt. Lett bitter, noe søtlig karamell og maltsmak. God fylde selv om det bare er 3,7%, Lett bitter tørr avslutning. Lite kullsyre

Sample from bottle at hotel room tasting. ABV is 3.7%. Dark brown colour, moderate off-white head. Mild roasty notes in the aroma. Smooth and pleasant flavour, mild roasty notes, hints of mild coffee and chocolate, but not sweet. I could easily drink a few pnts of this one. Will buy again.

50cl bottle from Meny, Kolsås. Pours dark brown with a tan head. Malty and roasty aroma with fruity notes, hints of smoke and bonfire. Medium sweet with nice roasty flavours and a balanced bitterness. Surprisingly flavourful and nice. Very decent brew!

Bottle at home. Has a clear, dark nut brown colour with a small, light beige head. Aroma of dades, wood, leather and dark meat. The flavour is more sweet with tones of caramel and leather. Slick and light mouth feel, and has a light bitterness. Nice aroma, light flavour, a solid mild.

500ml bottle. Clear, darkest copper colour with average, creamy, half-way lasting, moderately lacing, beige head. Grainy and bready malty aroma, hints of spelt, rye, roasted barley, a touch of cocoa. Taste is minimally sweet dark malty, grainy, bready, earthy, hints of rye, a cautious touch of treacle and liquorice. Nice.
