660 ml bottle sampled@RBNAG 2009, Vatlandsvåg. Clear mahogany body with a nice, but diminishing off-white head. Aroma is mild malty, some caramel and bread with some alcohol. Flavor has a light, but sharp maltiness with some caramel and bitterness. A bit thin body, the finish has hops and some alcohol. Not bad, not great.

Bottle. Creamy off-white good mostly lasting head. Dark amber colour. Moderate malty and light hoppy aroma. Light bitter slightly fruity (plumb and prune notes) flavor, overpowered by alcohol. Oily palate. Boring.
