Mörkbrun vätska med finbubbligt kaffegräddefärgat skumlock. Arom av kavring, nötter och lite våt säd. Fin maltighet med en lätt gräskbuskig beska.
Något tunn i kroppen men med en god eftersmak.

500 ml bottle, from Vinmonopolet, Nettbutikken. ABV is 5.6%. Very dark brown to black colour, moderate beige head. Aroma of dark malts, prunes, dark chocolate, caramel, some vinous hints. Flavour with the same elements (but no vinous hints here), also mild coffee, moderate hops in the finish. Okay.

Flaska från SB. Valnötsfärgad vätska med lågt krämigt skum. Rostade nötter, kavring, enbär, fruktkaka, bitter apelsinmarmelad, röda äpplen. Lång eftersmak, rejäl beska, harmonisk och välbalanserad. Mycket gott
