50cl bottle from Lauvas alus webshop. Pours clear mahogany coloured with a tanned head. Malty aroma with some roasty notes and dried fruits, caramel and hints of herbs. Moderate to medium sweet with medium flavour intensity and a rather dry and surprisingly bitter finish. A bit lively carbonation, but quite drinkable still. Fairly enjoyable.
