Bottle at home. Two year old. The colour is deep reddish brown with a small beige head. Sweet aroma of fruity candy, raspberries, dades, leather, nuts, cold coffee, wood, roasted almonds and chocolate. Malty flavour of wood, nuts, game meat, dades and subtle chocolate. Has a silky mouth feel, medium to full body and has a light bitterness. Decent and interesting but the taste is a bit strange.

Keg @ Kniven, Oslo whilst listening to some great hardcore thrash. Pours hazy dark brown, small tan head. Aroma has dark fruits, light spice, cocoa hints. Taste is smooth Belgian dark ale territory, light on spice for a Christmas beer but perhaps better for it. Good full-flavour with soft dark malts.
