500ml bottle, bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Pours a firm, fawn-coloured head over a deep mahogany coloured body, fair lacing. Aromas of lightly roasted chocolate malts, promising. Nicely malt-driven mocha chocolate flavours added by a backdrop of black coffee. Roasted earthy chocolate to the ending. Rounded mouthfeel. Fine depth to it. Enjoyed for an hour on a Friday eve. (Tromsø, 21.02.2025).

500ml bottle from Co-Op, cracked and poured into a pint sleeve at our holiday lodge in Louth after a 4-hour drive. Pours a dark brown, pale mocha cream head. Aroma is nicely chocolatey. Quite a pleasant chocolatey character to taste, very mild coffee, soft grain. Not a bad beer at all, medium to light bodied, drinks very well with just enough flavours shining through.

Many thanks to Simon! Smooth malty beginning. Very soft with creamy burned chocolate. Round creamy, grainy roasted chocolate. Moderate bitter, grainy fruity, burned chocolate in the aftertaste. Nice but not too intense chocolate with roasted beans in the finish.
