Bottle at home. One year old bottle. Pours a hazy reddish brown colour with a small ivory head. Aroma of dried fruit, oak, heather, licorice, bread, nuts and a good dose of caramel. The flavour is also quite malty but still sweet with caramel, toasted bread and dried fruits being the most dominant. Grassy hops in the background. Has a slick and silky mouth feel, medium body and a light bitterness. A malty, sweet and well-balanced old ale. Delicious and easy-drinking.

Flaske 330ml fra Vinmonopolet, Tromsø Sentrum. Mørkebrun. Litt uklar. Lavt skum som daler fort. God søt maltaroma med antydning til frukt. Smaken på den søte siden. Ulike frukt & bær. Blir litt tørr etter hvert. Veldig uklar siste kvelling. Sedimenter igjen på flaska.

Small offwhite head. Clear deep dark red body. Fruity wild berry juice aroma. Aroma feels like it’s missing something, a bit shallow. Spicy fruity apple taste with herbal notes. Mid-bodied. Mild, soft mouthfeel. Dryish spicy perfumy cinnamon aftertaste with herbal notes. Not bad, but a bit unfocused. (0.33l bottle, I forget where from.)
