Packed full of dark crystal malts this brew takes on a rich amber colour. A bouquet of caramel, amber malts and sweet berries give way to a palate of biscuit malts, woody & fruity hops that deliver a medium dry finish. This brew performs superbly cask conditioned as well as in bottle.

Medium beigeish head. Lovely deep red body. Deep fruity malty aroma with floral wild berry notes. Dry-sweetish wooden roasty toffee taste with floral strawy notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, clean mouthfeel. Dry floral earthy wooden caramel aftertaste with roasty peas and dust notes. A roasty earthy taste lingers. Excellent. Extremely drinkable. Really has character, too. (0.5l bottle, Centra, Oslo.)

500 ml bottle, bought at Vaaland Spesialbutikken, Bryne. ABV is 4.5%. Copper coloured beer, big to moderate off-white head. Very nice aroma, first fruity hops with notes of various berries, then caramel, bakery and malts (some of them lightly roasted). The flavour is first malty, with notes of caramel and brown bread, then some moderate fruity hops. Not too sweet. The finish has a moderate bitterness, mixed with notes of slightly burnt malts.

(bottle) Hazy, copper colour with a light-beige medium-sized foamy head. Sweet and slightly toasted aroma with notes of caramel, liquorice and berry-fruity, slightly piney hops. Moderately bitter flavour, light to almost medium bodied with a soft carbonation. Toasty malty base, dry mouthfeel with a good dash of fruity and piney hops; dry and bitter fruity hoppy finish. Well-crafted brew. 22.XI.09

Beautiful copper brown beer with medium beige head. Grass, some sweetness and redcurrants in the aroma that is overally quite aromatic. Flavour is simpler than aroma and slightly dusty, malts, grass and dry bitterness; not-inspired. Quite nice to drink but unfortunately too light. Good looking beer with nice aromas, but light body with simple flavour is slightly disappointment.

Bottled(500ml). -Dark orange coloured, small off-white head, sweet multy nose. Sweet malty, light nutty and bitter aromatic hoppy taste with peppery and caramel notes. Short bitterish finish, overall a bit too weak.

500ml bottle picked up at OddBins, Oxford. Served lightly chilled at home. Inviting smell of toffee malt. Flavour has got some layers of medium sweet malts supported by dark spices and ending with a bitter note. Clear and good looking rusty brown body under a thin, but lasting, off-white head. Nice laceworks on the glass. Medium bodied (TromsΓΈ, 18.07.2008).
