330ml bottle from Vinmonopolet Bestillingsutvalget. Bubbly beige lacing-head resting over a deep red-brownish coloured body. Aromas of dark caramel, dark bread and almond. Similar taste of dark bread, prunes and almond, slightly smoked. Rounded malt-fruity ending with satisfying bitterness. Medium bodied. A pleasant one (shared with Finn Arvid at his place, Tromsø 22.08.2015).

Bottle 330ml (Saveur)
Deep amber-ruby color, small off-white head. Sweetish berryish aroma with light smoke. Medium-bodied. Light chocolate, berries, caramel, smoke and herbs in the flavor. Some lingering smokeyness in the aftertaste. A bit this and that but one bottle is enough.
