Blik gedeeld door Roelzie, geprobeerd met Romy, Meindert en Lieke. Het is een helder bruin bier. Het heeft een wat kruidige geur. De smaak is kruidig met tonen van rozijn.

Kräftig, röstig, bitter. Ein ordentlicher Chlapf

Backlog November 2017. Clear amber body under a small tan head. Aroma has sweet caramel malt with a hint of alcohol. Taste is smooth, sweet malt, caramel, dry fruit and warming alcohol. Fine body and long lasting aftertaste. Solid and nice.

330 ml can. Barely translucent dark brown color has reddish highlights. Small pillowy tan head. Rich roasted malt nose hints at sweet licorice from the angelica. Soft, roasted malt flavor has notes of burnt sugar, licorice, cardamom and a subtle, underlying smokiness. Smooth, creamy mouthfeel is a pleasurable addition. Overall, a very faithful take on the style. Quite tasty.

Wee heavy ('Scotch') from Iceland's foremost craft brewery, can bought online from Ace Drinks. Thick and frothy, yellowish pale beige, dense, even-bubbled, lacing head on a misty chestnut brown beer with ruddy maroon hue. Aroma of butterscotch, caramel candy, ground hazelnuts, candied fig, freshly baked brown bread, walnut butter, Madeleine cookies, sugared tea, 'Koetjesreep', nutmeg, hint of roasted chicory, very vague green plant note from the angelica. Sweetish onset in a clean way, hints of dates, blue plum and unripe banana, softish and fine-bubbled carb, full but very smooth, almost buttery mouthfeel; deeply caramelly and butterscotch-like malts fill the mouth, with a brown-bready core and toasted bitter edges, moving gently from sweet to bitter, with some additional herbal hop bitterness in the finish. The caramelly effect makes place for this bitterness but the finish does remain primarily malty and clean, with a late but palpable, warming, somewhat peppery whisky-ish alcohol presence briefly highlighting the bitterness. Technically very solid - as always with Einstök - and flavour-wise very typically Scotch indeed, with no further frills other than the addition of angelica - which is all but unnoticeable so its presence hardly matters; feels a bit old school, and that is exactly what I expect from this style. Clean, supple but powerful, malty and elegant in a relatively simple way, the only criticism I can give here is that the alcohol could be better hidden as it is very tastable in the end, but otherwise well done and very convincing for its intended style.
