10 November 2023. At Billie's Craft Beer Fest. Thanks to tderoeck for sharing today's beers - cheers to so many more!

Dark brown, stable head. Caramel, dried banana, red apple, raisin, clove. Sweetish raisin, bitter spices & herbs, caramel malt base. Herbal hops, very spicy, oddly bitter. Syrupy texture. Not bad but lacks some structure and, well, sourness.

Bottle @ home. Close to black body under a nice, dense beige head. Aroma has dark malt, licorices and acidic coffee. Taste is sweet and sour with dark malt, acidic berries and hint of chocolate. Moderate bitterness. Medium body with a dry finish. Unusually but worked actually nice with my dish with fish and root vegetables.

500ml bottle, batch nr. 2632(?), bought at Vinmonopolet Langnes. Stable tan head over a deep ruby-black body, spotty lacing. Inviting aromas of chocolate malts and berry skins, nicely roasted. Interesting and likeable taste of chocolate, toffee, and berries with a little tartness to it. Woody. Softly roasted dark malts and dark berries to the ending. Well bodied. Something else, innovative brew. Like it. (Tromsø, 27.12.2023).

Bottle. A more or less black one, topped by a dense, finger-thick tan head. Some curtains left. The aroma has a very light sourness, along with roasted, slightly burnt, malts, licorice, some coffee and a touch of dark chocolate. Notes of something herbal and dark bread crust. Alcohol too, but that just compliments the rest of the aromas. It's full-bodied and very lightly warming. Smooth, with a gentle bitterness and not too much sweetness. The flavor is pretty much like the aroma, though with more focus on dark chocolate. Lasting, quite harsh licorice-ish, burnt finish with a pleasant sour touch and gentle warmth. The finish was a bit too intense, else I really enjoyed this one, especially after it warmed a bit. Sure not your average bock. 231225
