1/3 pint, gravicask, shared with Finn at GBBF Winter '23. Brownish body, filmy head, scattered lacing. Doughy fruity nose. Mixed taste of juniper, kveik, dough and cereal malts. Spiced mid-sweet, dough malty ending. Something else, and okay. (Burton Upon Trent, 16.02.2023).

Nose is nutty, grains, vinous, hint of perfume, dried fruit esters. Taste comprises dark malts, spice, herb, dried red berries, toffee, hedgerow. Medium bodied, soft carbonation, semi drying close. Not bad.

Delt med Rune på GBBF Winter festival i Burton-Upon-Trent. Mørk kobberfarget. Skumring med litt farge. Lett urtearoma. Smaken mere urter. Hostesaftaktig.

From cask at Dog & Bell with Terje 24.11.22. Almost clear copper. Head is diminishing to nothing. Aroma and very sweet taste of overwhelmingly sweet malt, juniper, bog-myrtle, heather, birch leaves, bonfire, smoked sausages. Some acidity from the kveik in the aftertaste.
