September 2008: 500 ml bottle, courtesy of Cardinal Pub & Bar, Stavanger. ABV is 4.8%. Amber to brown colour, decent head. Malty and nutty aroma with notes of caramel and bakery. The flavour is nutty and malty too, but also with a noticeable fruitiness, and decent hops in the finish.

Copper brown with a dense head. Sweet, malty aroma with notes of butter, caramel and red berries. Flavour is caramel, red berries, brown sugar and a hint of licorice. Not too shabby, perhaps a tad too sweet.
