[500ml bottle that my brother shared with me - cheers!] Pours dark amber. Moderate fizz is annoying and doesn’t really suit the style. Toffee dominates, with just a hint of blackberries and a little leaf mulch. Far too sweet throughout, just didn’t do anything for me.

Fra flaske på ølfestivalen: et fruktig øl med behagelig friskhet men lite karbonert. Allikevel lett å like.
