Opaque black color with a fine beige head. A bit earthy aroma. Also some coffee, toffee and mild roasted. Medium (+) body. Ok balance between sweetness and bitterness. Soft carbonation. Coffee, toffee, mild roasted, earthy and a bit mild hoppy flavor. Hey where did all those nice hopps go. A really nice and pleasant ale. Would have been a lovely bipa with a bit more citric and pine touch.

Bottle at Big Fish Cafe in Skj�rhalden, pours dark brown / near black with a small tan head. Nose brings out loads of earthy hops, dirt, and herbal notes. Flavour follows suit, with loads of earthy hops, followed by dirt. Super earthy (did I mention?), but in a tasteful way. Very nice stuff.
