Pleasant and nice evening sipper. Balanced fine sweetness for a beer like this. Also a fine complexity in the flavor Smooth fine aquavit barrel flavor. Also some dried fruits, toffee and chocolate The only drawback was the carbonation level. This bottle was more or less flat And it made the beer feel a little thin.

330ml bottle, vintage 2020, brought to Tromsø from Vinmonopolet Hamar by Dag Erik, many thanks. Shared with Finn. Dense, beige head with good duration. Almost black in the glass, rings of lace. Rather restrained smell of earthy malts, roasted. Fine balanced taste character of dried fruits, dates and prunes, caramel, grain and forest. Woody. Distant notes of aquavit to a roasted ending. Fine bodied. Tasty stuff. (Tromsø 28.01.2021).

Spandert av Rune. Delt på Nerstranda. Svart. Høyt lysebrunt luftig skum som daler sakte og etterlater litt lacing. Beskjeden aroma av eik. Silkemyk munnfølelse. Smaken karamell & akevitt. Lett tørr avslutning.

Ambisiøst og imponerende anslag i aroma, der det fungerer nydelig, men ølets kropp er altfor tynn til å bære all aromaen, og selv ikke en lav karmonering får det til å virke fyldig. Særlig i ettersmaken kommer dette frem som en kollaps.
