500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal pub, Stavanger. ABV is 5.0%. Beautiful deep amber colour, large off-white head, leaves a nice lacing. Sweetish aroma with plenty of malts, notes of caramel, bakery and raisins. The flavour is very rich and malty, but also fruity with well balanced hops. Not too sweet. Hoppy aftertaste. A first class premium bitter in my book.

Amber ale, nice head and lace. Unpleasant aroma. Nice taste, not too rich, fruity, some very light malt, nicer bitterness and hop aroma. Good palate, but with some metallic notes.

Sampled cask conditioned. Copper coloured. Very flowery aroma. Sweet, somewhat fruity and medium malty. Slightly salty, bitter finish. Rather one dimensional. This is a bold bitter, quite flavourful, but exactly very subtle, and IMO too sweet.
