Flaske 0,5l spandert av Rune og delt med flere under seanse i Tårnrommet 3 Jun 13. Gyldenbrun. Høyt luftig skum som varer lenge. Litt fruktig & krydret aroma. Smaken lett syrlig. Lite kullsyre - men den var nær BB-dato så den var nok mer sprudlende før. Klassisk ale-preg som blir litt syrlig etter hvert.

3x500ml bottles brought to Iceland by Stefan, after his participation at the International Medieval Congress in Leeds. Thanks a lot! Beautifully designed label. Pours a mahogney clear body, with a foamy head, that leaves a beautiful lacing. Malty and nutty aroma, with hints of dried fruit. Tastes like dried plums, prunes and dates, also nuts and cake. Iceland must be the perfect environment for trying a beer brewed for a Medieval Congress, I think. Shared and enjoyed in the great company of Sirry, Guðrún Sigurjónsdóttir, Helgi, Guðrún and of course Stefan @ Sirrys home in Reykjavik 14.Jul.2012.

At least three full pints, cask conditioned, and one bottle during IMC (International Medieval Congress), University of Leeds. Daleside was one of the sponsors of the Congress and had made this brew for the IMC. Pours a deep golden brown body to a bright shiny surface. Sweet, malt-fruity aroma. Has also got a sweet, caramel malty taste profile with notes of resin-like hops coming through, developing into a nice bitter ending. Good session beer. The Bar at IMC 12-15 July 2010.
