Aromatic barley malts and an exquisite belnd of hops combine to create a wonderful balance of sweet biscuit and subtle fruit flavours, with a hint of chocolate bitterness. (Contains barley).

500ml bottle bought at Centra Colosseum in Oslo, and enjoyed back home in Tromsø. This beer proves that it is quite possible to make great stuff with a low ABV. Nice in appearance with a shining, rusty-amber body, supported by a perfect, beige head, blanketing the glass. Light chocolate malts to the nose. Taste of fruit-chocolate with some grainy hints behind. Dry bitter endnotes. A very well balanced brew with fine drinkability [19.12.2008].

500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.0%. Chestnut coloured beer, big light tan head. Aroma of berries and malts, hints of toffee. The flavour is brimming with fruit/berries, caramel and malts, but is not too sweet, with a pleasant hoppy bitterness and some chocolate notes in the finish. Excellent beer, and quite amazing that it is only 4%.

Huge light brownish head quickly develops huge bubbles. Deep barely translucent dark red body. Roasty wooden wet wool aroma with hoppy notes. Dry powerful roasty wooden caramel taste with nutty creosote notes, lightly perfumy. Some fruit and chocolate as well. Soft, clean mouthfeel. Hints of sourness. Dry astringent burnt minty wooden aftertaste. An excellent session beer. I’m amazed by the amount of taste in this, given the alcohol. (0.5l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)
