Appearance - 10 | Aroma - 7 | Flavor - 6 | Texture - 8 | Overall - 6.5
On tap at Taps Trondheim. Aroma is malty with a definite caramel character along with some toasted bread and light nut notes. Some raisin notes as well as faint cherry. Medium light hop notes with mostly a woody, resin note but also some light grass and citrus. Hints of alcohol. Pours a fairly clear, red with some gold and copper hues and a large, thick light tan head with good retention as it recedes to a thin film. Medium lacing and small legs. Flavor is moderately sweet with a nice caramel character. Some lighter toasted bread and cracker notes. Medium light raisin and fig with some light nuttiness. Medium light bitterness with some light alcohol spice. Some moderate woodsy, earthy hop notes with a bit of spice and pine resin. Light citrus. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and low alcohol warmth. Overall, a nice red ale with a strong malt character and some good, woodsy hop notes to balance the sweetness of the malt.

Fruktig, litt oksidert, kanskje noe diacetyl. Meget god, men smaker mer enn sine prosenter.
